So I waited till I was alone
And I called you on the phone
About to tell you that I love you so
But you said you had to go
Said you’d call me back at ten
I guess I’ll never be your new boyfriend
Cause I waited up till two
You never called me back,
now that’s a big fuck you
I said I’m sorry I’ve been acting weird
You just wanted to get me off the line
I said that I get nervous cause you’re a girl
But I guess that you don’t want to be mine
So I camped out on my basement floor
Didn’t sleep in my bed so my back is sore
Telephone right by my side
Once said you liked me but I guess you lied
Like you did when you said you’d call me back
I was so tired but I couldn’t hit the sack
I guess you got more important things to do
Than talk to a guy who is in love with you.

    This song will always remind me of my first love, and how I always waited for him to call me back when he went out with his friend... :/

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
