Oh, yeah, yeah, uh
DTP, yeah, how we do
Call you, and you can call me
Whatever you want to do, baby
Ha, come on
Uh

Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me)
I'm only one call away (if you was my baby)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me)
I'm only one call away (if you was my lady)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me)
I'm only one call away (if you was my baby)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me)
I'm only one call away (if you was my lady)

It was weird how we met, huh?
She was with her mom in Bank of America
With my son cashin' a check, so I asked out of respect, uh
Would she like to explore the world of I, we can fly in my jet
Her reply was, "Yes" (can I ask you somethin'?)
I seen it in her eye, mama lookin' like all I wanted was sex
Then moved to the next (that ain't true)
But it was somethin' about this girl's style that make me feel no regrets (no regrets)
We started off casual, walks through the park (park)
Candle light dinners by dark (dark), I'm thinkin' smart (smart)
Afraid she might think I'm in a rush to touch, crush and be up
But, baby, I ain't on that stuff (I ain't on that stuff)
Dropped her off and told her call me up
We could talk (talk)
Conversate about political subjects, whatever thoughts
So I zoomed off thinkin' 'bout her
My phone rang, it was her in the shower (what did she say?)
She said I couldn't do without you
Then I said

Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me)
(If you wanna come roll with me, baby)
I'm only one call away (if you was my baby)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me)
I'm only one call away (if you was my lady) (all you have to do is call)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me)
I'm only one call away (if you was my baby)
(Let me take you out, yeah, yeah)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me)
I'm only one call away (if you was my lady)

Yo, yo
The next day I'm with the fellas at the cage playin' ball (playin' ball)
Here she come with her friends, they posted up on the wall (up on the wall)
Now I'm showin' off, tryna dunk, tryna dribble
Break fast through the middle just to see her smile and giggle (smile and giggle)
Game over, I approached her with a kiss on the cheek
The homeboys lookin' at me sayin', "Lil' Howard, you weak"
But you know how that go, what I got they want
What I got I flaunt, never mess with it, please don't
Told her, "I'm goin home", she asked can she go too
I'm like, "Yeah boo, I can't see me without you"
Got there, I took a shower jumped out, she in the bed
With a see-through thong set, I looked at her said

Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me) (oh, baby)
I'm only one call away (if you was my baby)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me) (if you wanna roll)
I'm only one call away (if you was my lady)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me)
I'm only one call away (if you was my baby) (baby, baby)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me, you need to recognize)
I'm only one call away (if you was my lady)

Girl, recognize game before game recognize you
You dealin' with a playa, true, now what you wanna do?
We can kick it and go puff on a blunt
Oh, you don't smoke? Grab a pint of Henn' then we can get drunk
It's up to you, I'm the man but, baby, just let me know
'Cause if you got a attitude, I could treat you just like a ho
If ya rollin' with me, baby, hop in it's enough room
We can gaze at the stars and shine like the moon (this is what I said to you, baby)
Give me a chance to show ya and a chance to know ya
Just be true and there's nothin' I won't do for ya
Some women like to play it foul
But them the kind I put in the place of a child
Don't worry be happy and smile (oh-oh)

Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me) (I wanna take you out)
I'm only one call away (if you was my baby) (I wanna do everything with you, baby)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me) (if you wanna roll with me, yeah)
I'm only one call away (if you was my lady)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me)
I'm only one call away (if you was my baby) (so tell me what you wanna do?)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me) (girl, I'm only fuckin' with you)
I'm only one call away (if you was my lady) (and you know it baby, yeah)

Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me)
I'm only one call away (if you was my baby) (what you wanna do, baby?)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me)
I'm only one call away (if you was my lady)
(We can hang in the club, we can do anything you want)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me)
I'm only one call away (if you was my baby)
(We can do anything you want)
Give me a call if you wanna come roll with me (you could roll with me) (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
I'm only one call away (if you was my lady)

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
