1
Oh I missed the call
Oh I got to say no
Am I real low?
is it reasonable?

oh I missed the call
now I got to say no
I might keep it slow
but i'd rather go

chorus:
oh I missed the call
oh I missed the call
oh I missed the call
oh now I've got to be wiser

2
you gotta call me back
should I call you instead?
believe it or not
I was always like
always like that

now I missed the call
now I got to say no
am I right or am I wrong?
I don't really know
don't really know

chorus:
i missed the call
oh I missed the call
oh I missed the call
oh it's down to the wire

bridge:
what do you know
do you know bout me
what do you know
do you know bout me
what do you know
do you know bout me
i'm not what you assumed

3
you gotta call me back
would you block me instead
believe it or not
I was always like that
always like that

now I missed the call
now I've got to say no
am I right or am I wrong?
I don't really know
don't really know
oh it's down to the wire




oh it's down to the wire
oh it's down to the wire

The second verse introduces the idea of communication, with the singer wondering if they should initiate a call instead of waiting for a response. They reflect on their past behavior and admit that they have always been like that, perhaps alluding to patterns of missed opportunities and indecisiveness.
