Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I saw you this morning, baby, tell me why did you walk away
Can't believe that you don't love me, thought our love was here to stay
Now buzz me, baby, I'll be waiting for your call
Buzz me, buzz me, buzz me, buzz me, baby, I'll be waiting for your call
If you forgot the number, come on over, you won't have to call at all
When I say I'm yours forever, every word I say is true
Buzz me, baby, I'll be waiting for your call
If you forgot the number, come on over, you won't have to call at all
The lyrics of Craig Rubano's "The Thrill is Gone" depict the emotions of someone who has just been abruptly dumped by their lover. The singer saw their lover that morning and is puzzling over why they would just walk away. They are having a hard time accepting that their lover didn't love them anymore, as they thought their love was going to last forever. The emotions of the singer are of confusion, disbelief, and heartbreak.
The chorus of the song has the singer urging their lover to call them, asking them to 'buzz' them. In a way, they aren't just asking for a call, but they are pleading for their lover to come back into their life. The singer even goes on to say that they haven't lied to anyone and they won't lie to their lover - affirming how devoted they were to their relationship. This reinforces the idea that the reason for the breakup is someone else's fault or misunderstanding, further complicating the narrative. Overall, the lyrics paint a sad portrait of someone who is grappling with the loss of love and the desperation to win it back.
