Call It What You Will
Joe Pug Lyrics

Silver cans and bronze colored dirt
The scene is set as a desolate and abandoned parking lot.

Things ain't so soon near the parking lot moon
The immediate future looks bleak and sad in the setting of the parking lot under the moon.

She said let's call it quit
She has suggested ending their relationship.

Let's not call it the end of the world
However, she doesn't want to dramatize it or assume that it is the worst thing that could happen.

Call it what you will
Regardless, they should label this event in a way that accurately expresses their feelings.

I'm heartbroken still
The singer feels devastated and is struggling to move on from this turn of events.

Words are just words
The singer asks for acknowledgement that, while words can be powerful, they cannot change the current situation.

Road salt on I-95
The artist changes the topic but still focuses on a desolate, bleak image.

Forget what your told, it's bound to get cold
The artist warns the listener that things may get worse and they should be prepared for it.

I call today a disaster
The artist is acknowledging the personal trauma they are currently experiencing.

She calls it December the 3rd
However, his significant other wants to mark this event more mundanely and without dramatic flair.

On a brief and star stricken night
The artist remembers a specific night that might have held promise and hope, but was fleeting.

I called her name on the road from Spokane
In this moment of promise the singer calls out to his lover on a long journey.

I hear a blue heron crying
The singer is moved by the sound of a blue heron bird's cries.

Some folks just call it a bird
But he knows that some people may view it differently and assign more significance to it under different circumstances.

Some call an end a beginning
The artist understands that people interpret the same event in different ways.

For right now they'll go unheard
But at the moment he is in pain and can't hear those other opinions.
