We are Phone Calls From Home. We play music with the intention of helping people. We have found that a lot of bands have hopes of being rich and famous, or hope that they can play their instrument as a career. We have higher hopes than that. We want to use any fame or success we get to influence people in a positive way. Teens today have a hard time growing up. They struggle with boredom, depression, peer pressure, their parents, and themselves. They look for happiness in any outlet they can find and try too hard to fit in. We want to make it easier for them by giving them someone they can relate to and understand. Through our music, our advice, and our lives, we want to teach our fans to be happier and help them find more purpose in life.
That’s Phone Calls From Home. That is what we are about. If you agree with what we are doing, support us: come to shows, and be a fan. If you don’t agree, be a fan of the music anyway. Either way, smile. It’s your life, be happy and be who you want to be.
Photos Of You
Phone Calls From Home Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah you said you're sorry
The look on your face
You ran out in a hurry
Your best friend sold you out
Yeah she saw you in the hallway
With his arms around your waist
As you were kissing his lips,
I almost wish you did
No I wish you did
Now I wish you did (wish you did)
because
Now I see your face
I'll break down and call you
A thousand times a day
I'll forgive but can't forget
With "I love you" girl
You had me hooked
But the last time you said it
Your voice shook
You were never good with lies
Like when you told
Just like our favorite song
"Dont stop beliving"
I was screaming the words off key
When it came on in my car
I'm just a love-torn loser
The boy next door
Who will always be coming back for
Now I see your face
I'll break down and call you
A thousand times a day
I'll forgive but can't forget
