Forever the Sickest Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't control myself or contain my thoughts
It's eating me up inside
Now I see everything a little more clearly
The bad ways the good things was this every good thing for me
Whoa oh oh
Was this every good thing for me
Whoa oh oh
[Chorus]
Your just a phone call away
Every day you seem further away (your just a phone call away)
I do my best to throw my pride aside and apologize cut myself down a notch
(Every day you seem further away)
And I know I said some things that hurt
Through ninety seven missed calls I'll finally get over you
All I, all I really wanted was a good job
A nine to five never seemed to cut it
Was too wrapped up in her to be working like that
Soon you'll see that everything will work out for me
So keep your promises you promised to me
Whoa oh oh yeah
[Chorus]
Your taking me places I've never been
Your feeling me out I'm filling you in
Whats more important then saving yourself from letting me in
Whats more important
Whats more important
Whats more important
Saving yourself from letting me in
[Chorus]
Well I'm just a fool for you and I think I'm going crazy
I'm just a fool for you and I think I'm going crazy
I'm just a fool for you and I think I'm going crazy
I'm just a fool for you and I think I'm going crazy
The lyrics to "Phone Call" by Forever the Sickest Kids are a desperate plea for a lost love. The singer is expressing his love and remorse for the things he did wrong in the relationship. He knows he messed up and is continuously calling, but every time he does, she seems further away. He's pleading with her to give him another chance, promising that he's working towards bettering himself, but he feels like he's losing his mind waiting for her to pick up the phone.
The chorus repeats the idea that she's just a phone call away, but with each missed call, she's further and further from him. He's trying his best to apologize and make amends, but he knows he said some hurtful things. Though he has high hopes for his future and thinks he will be successful, it's clear that none of that matters if he doesn't have her by his side.
Overall, the lyrics convey the desperation and heartbreak of someone who has lost the love of their life. They're willing to do whatever it takes to make amends and get their relationship back on track.
