Calling You
RED HOT AND 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
The song "Calling You" by Red Hot and Blue is a heartfelt expression of love and devotion. The first verse establishes the strong emotions that the singer feels for their loved one, which they say can't be easily explained. They declare their love and the fact that it is unshakeable. The chorus is a plea to their loved one to check on them and let them know that they're okay when they're not together. The singer asks if they love them and revels in the way it sounds when they say it. They also question whether they try too hard to make their loved one smile, but ultimately decide they will keep calling to check in and make sure they're okay.
The second verse describes how the singer's world was turned upside down when they fell in love. They used to think that the world was a difficult and unkind place, but their love has shown them a new way of looking at things. Being with their loved one makes them feel like they can fly. The bridge represents the distance between the singer and their loved one, who is "a hundred miles from home." Despite this, the singer is using the words their loved one has given them to keep their love alive. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's love and devotion.

It's something I can't quite explain
My feelings for you are too complex to express with mere words
I'm so in love with you
My love for you is intense and all-consuming
You'll never take that away
Nothing can diminish my love for you
And if I've said a hundred times before
I've expressed my love for you countless times already
Expect a thousand more
And I will continue to express it many more times in the future
So expect me to be
Therefore, you should anticipate that
Calling you to see
I will call you to check on you
If you're okay when I'm not around
To make sure you're doing well when I'm not there
Asking 'if you love me'
I will ask you if you still love me
I love the way you make it sound
I enjoy hearing you say that you love me
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
I wonder if I'm putting too much effort into making you happy
To make a smile
Just to get you to smile
Well I will keep calling you to see
However, I will continue to call you to check on you
If you're sleeping are you're dreaming
Even when you're asleep, I still want to know how you're doing
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me
And even in your dreams, I hope I'm on your mind
I can't believe you actually picked me
I feel so fortunate that you chose to be with me
I thought that the world had lost it's sway
I had lost faith in the world
(It's so hard sometimes)
(Life can be difficult)
Then I fell in love with you
But then I met you and fell in love
(Then came you)
(You changed everything)
And you took that away
You restored my faith in the world
(It's not so difficult
(Life doesn't have to be hard)
The world is not so difficult)
(The world can be a beautiful place)
You take away the old
You help me let go of my past struggles
Show me the new
You help me see the world in a new and better way
And I feel like I can fly when I stand next to you
Being with you gives me a feeling of invincibility
So while I'm on this phone
So even though I can't be with you in person
A hundred miles from home
Because I'm far away
I'll take the words you gave me and send them back to you
I'll cherish the loving words you've spoken to me and reciprocate them
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Musical interlude
Oh oh oh oh
Musical interlude
