I Am Always the One Who Calls Lyrics

Satellites mediate for us the day's events
Through fiber optics
I hope we can change the saying
I wouldn't mind, but you are my only hope
I wouldn't mind, but you are my only hope

Clear as a bell are the short breaths
That you take when you're distracted
Same as the way that you roll your eyes
When I ask too many stupid questions

My faith in zeros and ones to host our romance
Rests on hope you gave that
I've some claim to your heart
I wouldn't mind, but you are my only hope
I wouldn't mind, but you are my only hope

Clear as a bell are the short breaths
That you take when you're distracted
Same as the way that you roll your eyes
When I ask too many stupid questions

I will call you in three weeks
Maybe then you'll have some more to say

Boy oh boy do I know how this feels.

"I will call you in three weeks, maybe then you'll have some more to say."

I think any song is open to any interpretation by anybody. To each his or her own! If it means something special and important to a person, but it means something wholly different to another but still equally special and important, so be it.

To me, it's a long distance relationship in which the singer gives a lot more affection than is returned. And again, to me, the singer wants to not care about it, to be all right with being the one who calls, but it's not. And it hurts.

Goodness, this song! Amazing.

This song isn't about a relationship between two people but rather the relationship between Bazan and Jesus. It's an example of how people think that Jesus doesn't hear our prayers and doesn't answer us back, hence the title, "I'm Always the One That Calls". Bazan feels like he's getting no response from Jesus when he prays, he keeps calling him, but no one is calling back. Perhaps this seems like it's about a relationship but Bazan is not nearly as juvenille as that; there's a bigger picture here kids.

keithlittle dont be so modest in saying your interpretation is right, youll hurt someones feelings. you are already hurting my brain. just because bazan is very religiously oriented doesnt mean every song is about religion or jesus. this song is about a romance and i think this is so because HE SAYS IT IS. or do you think jesus is the one rolling his eyes. you sound like such a juvenile, get the picture.... kid? listen to "the longest winter" it sounds like your forgetting what it feels like to be young, cause you sound like an old grouch.

wow tex calm down on keith's view....everyone has there own opinion =P

while i agree that it is a relationship with someone long distance, a lover, or even a past friend, it definitely could be about his relationship with jesus. nice observation keith
