When You Call
Derrick Ryan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't think that you understand
There's a piece of me that sits in you're pocket
It's the reason that I'll rise through the air
Through the air
I know I might sound jaded
I'm just irritated Look the other way when you call
Don't need no hesitation
I can't be persuaded
Taking all my things now I'm gone
I don't care that you got somebody
Don't need no hesitation I can't be persuaded
Look the other when you call
When you call
She said take me back to the Summer
We can just start over again
But I don't see how we could recover
Sad to say but this is the end
The end
I know I might sound jaded
I'm just irritated
Look the other way when you call
Don't need no hesitation
I can't be persuaded
Taking all my things now I'm gone
When you call
When you call
So when you're out on the town
With your friends and you're running your mouth
Why I left try to guess why it all went south
No stress looking left when you call
And when you're home all alone
Think of calling my phone
Where I've been who I'm with
Girl you already know
Can't stand to see your number look away
When you call
When you call
She said take me back to the Summer
We can just start over again
But I don't see how we could recover
Sad to say but this is the end
The end
The song "When You Walk In" by Derrick and Yvonne is an emotional and reflective piece about a failed relationship. The singer is addressing their former lover who is now with someone else. The lyrics express the confusion and lingering feelings the singer still has towards their past relationship. The line "There's a piece of me that sits in your pocket" suggests that the singer still feels an emotional attachment towards their ex despite the end of the relationship. The lyrics "I know I might sound jaded, I'm just irritated" suggest that the singer has moved on and is frustrated that their ex is still trying to contact them. They don't want to be led on again and the line "Don't need no hesitation, I can't be persuaded" highlights their determination to move forward. The chorus "When you call, When you call" repeats the phrase in a lamenting tone, highlighting the pain the singer is feeling.
The song is relatable as it captures the agony of a failed relationship, particularly when one has not completely overcome the emotional attachment they once had. It can be interpreted as a message to the former lover that despite moving on, the feelings still linger, but the singer is determined to leave the past behind.

[Chorus]
Hold on to your hat
And we'll drive this road together
Hold on to your hat
Say you'll be mine forever
[Verse 1]
Ah, you know you are my sweetheart, you're the apple of my eye
To you I'd give my soul, without a question why
I'll always do my very best to never make you cry
I'll care for you and love you true until the day I die
[Chorus]
Hold on to your hat
And we'll drive this road together
Hold on to your hat
And we'll see all kinds of weather
Hold on to your hat
And we'll drive this road together
Hold on to your hat
Say you'll be mine forever Hеy!
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Ah don't worry about times ahead the futurе is unknown
With every bend and crossroads you'll never be alone
And if the days get dark and the restless winds they blow
We're in the gust but we can trust our love will take us home
[Chorus]
Hold on to your hat
And we'll drive this road together
Hold on to your hat
And we'll see all kinds of weather
Hold on to your hat
And we'll drive this road together
Hold on to your hat
Say you'll be mine forever Hey!
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Hold on to your hat
And we'll drive this road together
Hold on to your hat
And we'll see all kinds of weather
Hold on to your hat
And we'll drive this road together
Hold on to your hat
Say you'll be mine forever
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
