I lost the signal and put you away 00:19
Swore upon the sun, I'd save you for a rainy day 00:22
Loosen the noose and let go of the rope 00:27
I know if it's never coming back, it has to go 00:31
I keep calling your name (Keep calling your name) 00:35
I wanna hold you close but I never wanna feel ashamed 00:39
So I keep calling at night (Keep calling at night) 00:44
I wanna hold you close, I just never wanna hold you tight 00:48
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop 00:52
Calling it off, calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms 00:55
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop 01:00
Calling it off, calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms 01:03
I found the weakness and put it to play 01:17
Swore upon the stars, I'd keep you till the night was day 01:21
Shake my head dizzy, so I'll never know 01:25
You said if you're never coming back, you have to go 01:29
I keep calling your name (Keep calling your name) 01:34
I wanna hold you close but I never wanna feel ashamed 01:38
So I keep calling at night (Keep calling at night) 01:42
I wanna hold you close, I just never wanna hold you tight 01:46
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop 01:50
Calling it off, calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms 01:54
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop 01:59
Calling it off, calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms 02:02
Calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms 02:13
Calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms 02:21
Oh my goodness, here I go again 02:24
Pulling you back to me 02:27
Pulling you back into my arms so selfishly 02:29
I don't think I understand, 'cause I don't really know myself 02:34
I keep calling you up, calling you up 02:38
Calling you up, calling you up, calling you up 02:44
(So I can call) 02:52
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop 02:57
Calling it off, calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms 03:00
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop 03:06
Calling it off, calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms 03:09
Calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms 03:20
Calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms 03:27

[English]

I lost the signal and put you away
Swore upon the sun, I'd save you for a rainy day
Loosen the noose and let go of the rope
I know if it's never coming back, it has to go
I keep calling your name (Keep calling your name)
I wanna hold you close but I never wanna feel ashamed
So I keep calling at night (Keep calling at night)
I wanna hold you close, I just never wanna hold you tight
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop
Calling it off, calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop
Calling it off, calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms
I found the weakness and put it to play
Swore upon the stars, I'd keep you till the night was day
Shake my head dizzy, so I'll never know
You said if you're never coming back, you have to go
I keep calling your name (Keep calling your name)
I wanna hold you close but I never wanna feel ashamed
So I keep calling at night (Keep calling at night)
I wanna hold you close, I just never wanna hold you tight
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop
Calling it off, calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop
Calling it off, calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms
Calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms
Calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms
Oh my goodness, here I go again
Pulling you back to me
Pulling you back into my arms so selfishly
I don't think I understand, 'cause I don't really know myself
I keep calling you up, calling you up
Calling you up, calling you up, calling you up
(So I can call)
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop
Calling it off, calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop
Calling it off, calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms
Calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms
Calling it off just to keep crawling to your arms
