Calling You
October Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so in love with you
You'll never take that away
And if I've said a hundred times before
Expect a thousand more
You'll never take that away
So expect me to be
If you're okay when I'm not around
Asking "if you love me"
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make a smile
Well I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping are you're dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can't believe you actually picked me
I thought that the world had lost it's sway
(It's so hard sometimes)
Then I fell in love with you
(Then came you)
And you took that away
(It's not so difficult
The world is not so difficult)
You take away the old
Show me the new
And I feel like I can fly when I stand next to you
So while I'm on this phone
A hundred miles from home
I'll take the words you gave me and send them back to you
I only want to see
If you're okay when I'm not around
Asking "if you love me"
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make a smile
Well I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping are you're dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can't believe you actually picked me
Well I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping are you're dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can't believe you actually picked me
Well I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping are you're dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can't believe you actually picked me
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Thank you Blue October and everyone that is sharing their story. I lost my 29 year old son to covid. He left behind a wife and 3 children. It hurts so bad, seeing my family's pain hurts too. The music and all your comments is comforting
Yikes

13 years later, I'm still unendingly in love with this band and will forever have a place in my heart for them. They got me through many years of marital abuse and pill addiction/alcoholism. 7 years clean ❤️

Well, Here I am 53 years old sitting in my office in tears. In March of 2020 I lost my best friend, My soulmate, The love of my life to a heart attack at only 55. We had seen you solo and with the band probably 15 times. He used to call me and sing this on my answering machine. You were " our" band. Your messages hit us both deep and hard. The last thing he said to me was, I will be calling you .. then he went on to sing the song. I can't thank you enough for all of the wonderful memories listening to you. We didn't have any kids, so I thought I would be alone for the rest of my life. Until just now. I am part of the Blue crew. Not alone. Thank you. ~Peace and Love~
