I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
If you need me
Why don't you call me
Said if you need me
Why don't you call me
Don't wait too long
When things go wrong
I'll be there, yeah
Where I belong
Said if you want me
Why don't you send for me
Said if you want, want, want
All you gotta do is send for me
Don't wait to long
Just a pick up your phone
I'll be there
Right there, where I belong
People always told me, darling
That you didn't mean me no good
But I know deep down in my heart
I done the best I could
And one of these days, darling
It won't be long
You're gonna come walking through that door
And I know in my mind these are the very
Words you're gonna say to me
I still love you
Always thinking of you
I still love, love, love
Always thinking of you
Don't wait too long
When things go wrong
I'll be there, right there
Where I belong
Why don't you call me
Said if you need me
Why don't you call me
Don't wait too long
When things go wrong
I'll be there, yeah
Where I belong
Said if you want me
Why don't you send for me
Said if you want, want, want
All you gotta do is send for me
Don't wait to long
Just a pick up your phone
I'll be there
Right there, where I belong
People always told me, darling
That you didn't mean me no good
But I know deep down in my heart
I done the best I could
And one of these days, darling
It won't be long
You're gonna come walking through that door
And I know in my mind these are the very
Words you're gonna say to me
I still love you
Always thinking of you
I still love, love, love
Always thinking of you
Don't wait too long
When things go wrong
I'll be there, right there
Where I belong
