Another Heart Calls
The All-American Rejects Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you remember when we didn't care
We were just two kids that took the moment when it was there
Do you remember you at all
Another heart calls

Yeah I remember when we stole the night
We'd lie awake but dreaming 'til the sun would wash the sky
Just as soon as I see you
But didn't I, but didn't I tell you
As deep as I need you,
You wanna leave it all

What can I do?
Say it's true
Or everything that matters breaks in two
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you

Talk to me
I'm throwing myself in front of you
This could be the last mistake
That I would ever wanna do
Yeah all I ever do is give it's time you see my point of view

Just as soon as I see you
But didn't I, but didn't I tell you
As deep as I need you,
You wanna leave it all

What can I do?
Say it's true
Or everything that matters breaks in two
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
But I know what you want is to figure it out
And God knows I do too
What can I do?
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, na

I'm sorry
So what?
But you don't think I've said enough
I'm sorry
I don't care
You were never there

As soon as I see you
But didn't I, but didn't I tell you
As deep as I need you
You wanna leave it all

What can I do?
Say it's true
Or everything that matters breaks in two
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
But I know what you want is to figure it out
And God knows I do too
What can I do?
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'll never ask for anyone but you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll never ask for anyone but you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll never ask for anyone but you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh




I'll never ask for anyone but you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The All-American Rejects’ “Another Heart Calls” describe the memories of a couple who used to be crazy about each other. The song starts by asking if they remember the time when they didn’t care about anyone but each other. They were just two kids who took the moment when it was there. The singer then asks if the person he’s addressing remembers anything about him at all. The title of the song, “Another Heart Calls,” suggests that this isn’t a happy reunion, but a break-up.


The song then goes into flashback mode, reminiscing about the time they used to steal the night and lie awake but dreaming until the sun would wash the sky. He remembers how he used to tell her how much he needed her, but she would always want to leave it all. The singer then asks what he can do, and whether she will admit that everything that mattered is now broken in two. But still, he will never ask for anyone but her.


The lyrics then take a melancholic and angry turn. He apologizes, but he’s fed up with her not being there. The song ends with the same question the singer has been asking throughout - what can he do? He knows what she wants, and he wants it too, but he still wants it with her.
