=). Never has a song ever read my soul. Love the beat.

I noticed the singer says "These fourteen numbers never felt so right" when he is probably referring to his phone number. In the U.S., we have 9 numbers to our phone number, including zipcode so why does he say 14 numbers and not 9? I know this band is from Montreal, Quebec so his phone number is probably longer because he resides internationally. Just thought this was interesting..

As to the meaning of the song, I think it is quite clear. The singer's character is feeling rather lonely and hopes a girl he is interested in calls him. It doesn't matter what they do, as long as he's with her.

Man.. I love how the beat itself really shows the feelings of the singer's character. I might be crazy or something, but I can't help but admire their ability to not only tell you what they might be feeling but also let you feel it. It's like art to me. It's something, I think, that might be undervalued nowadays.
