Punchline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For missing an act of fate you and I
End up where we're not supposed to
We all have a match
If we can make the connection
So when your time comes
Make sure you're paying attention to it
He sees her as he's walking by
Oh no there's a chair ahead
And he falls down, his face is red
And she laughs and goes back to work
And for him it's no surprise
Oh no she lost her chance
Because she didn't catch his eyes
Caller 10 with the loudest cry
For missing an act of fate you and I
End up where we're not supposed to
We all have a match
If we can make the connection
So when your time comes
Make sure you're paying attention to it
You gotta keep your eyes so open wide
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
Because you never know when lost becomes found
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
He works and she goes to class
So there's no time to get attached
Both looking our their windows
He says, "Someday I'll find you"
And the years go flying by
One day they park side by side
They have black ? both the same
Down to ?
Caller 10 with the loudest cry
For missing an act of fate you and I
End up where we're not supposed to
We all have a match
If we can make the connection
You've gotta pay attention
You've got to pay attention to it
You gotta keep your eyes so open wide (wide)
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
Because you never know when lost becomes found
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
He walks away
She walks away
Outside by the deli, please take a number (he walks away)
This represents them both with 37s
Her cell phone rings and he says, "hey, (she walks away)
I've had that song in my head all day"
She runs to the front door
She looks so familiar (he walks away)
She scared not to answer, her boyfriend that hits her
Now back to her home life, it doesn't deserve her (she walks away)
She should have payed attention
Maybe fate can only take you so far
Keep your eyes so open wide (wide)
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
Because you never know when lost becomes found
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
Keep your eyes so open wide (wide)
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
Because you never know when lost becomes found
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
Every which way you go
The song "Caller 10" by Punchline tells the story of two people who have missed their chance to connect with each other due to various circumstances, but eventually find each other despite their different lives. The lyrics stress the importance of paying attention to the moments in life that could possibly lead to something greater, emphasizing the idea that fate can only take us so far and we have to be actively involved in making our own connections.
The song opens with the line "Caller 10 with the loudest cry, for missing an act of fate you and I, end up where we're not supposed to", which sets the overarching theme of missed opportunities and the consequences that come with them. The second verse describes a chance encounter where the male protagonist falls in front of the female protagonist but fails to catch her attention, while the third verse describes how the two of them eventually park their cars beside each other despite their busy lives and schedules, creating another chance encounter. The final part of the song takes a darker turn as the female protagonist receives a call from an abusive boyfriend, warranting the line "Now back to her home life, it doesn't deserve her, she should have paid attention".
Overall, "Caller 10" is a cautionary tale about paying attention to the moments that could lead to something special, and not taking anything for granted. The song stresses the importance of actively pursuing our connections in life, rather than relying solely on fate.
Line by Line Meaning
Caller 10 with the loudest cry
The person who is the most desperate to connect with their fate
For missing an act of fate you and I
If we miss a sign from the universe, we can end up somewhere we're not supposed to
We all have a match
Each person has a destiny waiting for them
If we can make the connection
If we can figure out what that destiny is and take steps to achieve it
So when your time comes
When your moment arrives
Make sure you're paying attention to it
Be mindful of the opportunities that come your way
She's sitting on the other side
A woman sits across the room
He sees her as he's walking by
A man notices her
Oh no there's a chair ahead
The man trips on a chair
And he falls down, his face is red
He is embarrassed
And she laughs and goes back to work
She finds his misfortune funny
And for him it's no surprise
The man has low expectations for himself
Oh no she lost her chance
The woman missed an opportunity to connect with the man
Because she didn't catch his eyes
Because she didn't make eye contact with him
You gotta keep your eyes so open wide
Pay attention to everything around you
Look left to right, look up and down, turn around
Be aware of what's happening in every direction
Because you never know when lost becomes found
We never know when we will find what we are looking for
He works and she goes to class
The two people have very different schedules and don't have time to meet
So there's no time to get attached
They can't start a relationship because of their schedules
Both looking our their windows
Both people are looking out of their windows
He says, "Someday I'll find you"
The man hopes to connect with the woman in the future
And the years go flying by
Time passes quickly
One day they park side by side
They happen to park their cars next to each other
They have black ? both the same
They both have the same type of car with black exterior
Down to ?
Down to the last detail
You've gotta pay attention
It's important to stay alert
He walks away
The man leaves
She walks away
The woman leaves
Outside by the deli, please take a number (he walks away)
The man goes to a deli to get food
This represents them both with 37s
The deli number they would have had if they stayed there
Her cell phone rings and he says, "hey, (she walks away)
The man calls the woman
I've had that song in my head all day"
He's been thinking about the same thing she has
She runs to the front door
The woman rushes to the door
She looks so familiar (he walks away)
The woman recognizes the man as he leaves
She scared not to answer, her boyfriend that hits her
The woman is afraid to not answer the phone because her abusive boyfriend may hurt her
Now back to her home life, it doesn't deserve her (she walks away)
The woman deserves better than her current situation
Maybe fate can only take you so far
Fate can only do so much to bring people together
Every which way you go
No matter which direction you choose
