Call Me Back

(What went wrong?)

Running on empty, I waited years in a past life
Running out of rope and the water's high
I drowned for you and I didn't regret it
Don't text me back in the afterlife

Needed the time, I didn't realize
I had it all along, can't take my own advice
Conflated, filling the gaps for love

And it's obvious
That I'm caved in and breaking up
But I know it's good
I know it's good

Though it's over now
In my dreams, you call me back
But I hope you don't
I hope you don't, uh

I hope you're gone and lost in better days
I've been watching the time, how it erodes away
Thinking 'bout how the last years feel like yesterday
How did I lose grip on it?

Honest, been falling through nightmares light-years away
And doing my best to keep those thoughts at bay
And finding my highlights in the loudest places
And strangers' faces, getting caught up in the race of it

(How did we get lost, overgrown?) And walking through the clearing crowd
If we took our chances (when it's time to go)
But we exchanged glances, yeah
Call it in the moment (when did I lose all this love?)
And walking down the road that I grew up on
And falling out of habits
Stopped bleeding for empathy's sake

And it's obvious
That I'm caved in and breaking up
But I know it's good
Know it's good (oh, ooh)

Though it's over now
In my dreams, you call me back
But I hope you don't
I hope you don't

'Cause I don't need you to tell me (I'm walking through the clearing)
(Breaking, breaking up) I, I don't need you to tell me that
I don't need you to tell me that (and walking down the road that I grew up on)
Oh, I don't need you to tell me

It's okay, I'm going
I'm searching for what I am now
Find you if it's urgent
Or if I'm hurting more than I am now

And we'll come back here someday
And laugh about it, memories that don't know
How it felt like I was burning while you weren't watching
Took everything I loved

Now nowhere feels like home (home)
Now nowhere feels like home (home)
Now nowhere feels like home

Yeah

Ooh
Now nowhere feels like home

Been a long life, still got mad time
Took a wrong right on it last time
Through the long night, made it out alright
Told my brother, "Hold tight"

Sometimes, I can feel it
Sometimes, I still
Sometimes, I feel
Sometimes

Now nowhere feels like, nowhere feels like home (oh)
Now nowhere feels like home, nowhere feels like home
Now nowhere feels like home (nowhere feels like home)
Nowhere feels like–
