Call Me
Mayfield Jessica Lea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no need for me to stay and be a burden
If you love me let me know
There's no need for me to sit here and wonder
I spent the whole night by myself
Wondering who you talk to who you tell
I spent the whole night waiting for you to call me
I don't know the meaning of love
But I know the meaning of fear
What will I do when that day comes
And I don't have you here
I spent the whole night by myself
Wondering who you talk to who you tell
I spent the whole night waiting for you to call me
I spent the whole night by myself
Wondering who you talk to who you tell
I spent the whole night waiting for you to call me
In Jessica Lea Mayfield's song "Call Me", the singer is feeling insecure and uncertain about the state of their relationship. The first verse reveals that the singer is willing to leave if they are seen as a burden, indicating that they are questioning their worth in the relationship.

The chorus is where the singer pleads for their partner to communicate their love and feelings for them. The repetition of "I spent the whole night by myself" emphasizes the singer's feelings of isolation and loneliness. They are waiting for their partner to reach out and give them assurance.
The bridge of the song is particularly poignant as the singer confesses that they don't know the meaning of love but they do understand fear. This suggests that the fear of losing their partner is overwhelming and that their love is not being reciprocated, leading to their feelings of insecurity.
Overall, "Call Me" is a vulnerable plea for communication and reassurance in a relationship. It explores the fear and insecurity that can arise when one partner is unsure of the other's feelings, and the importance of clear communication to overcome those fears.
