Phone call
You'd better go and pick it up
left right, black white
can not help myself
Where I come from there was someone just like you
Next shot next day
Memories are fade away
Go make a choice
Where i come from there was someone just like you
whereever i end up i end up with you
and whereever i hide you be there too
but whereever i end up i end up with you
with you
first starts two prouds pack my bags and got away see soon darling just another word I say
where hiding too there was someone just like you
wherever i end up i end up with you
and wherever i hide you be there too
but wherever i end up i end up with you
with you
but whereever i end up i end up with you(×8)
with you(×4)
The song "Phone Call" by Young Chinese Dogs is a poignant poetic reflection about the power and importance of relationships. The lyrics begin with a phone call ringing and calling attention to the importance of answering and dealing with what is calling. The repetition of "where I come from there was someone just like you" is a nod towards the idea that, no matter how different or individualistic we may feel, there are always others who have gone through similar experiences and who understand us in ways that many others cannot.
The line "memories are fade away" speaks to the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of memories and experiences slipping away, highlighting the importance of treasuring the moments we have with those we love. The second verse mentions the act of packing bags and leaving, indicating that the singer is on a journey or quest of some kind. The idea that "wherever I end up, I end up with you" reinforces the idea that relationships are important no matter where one goes or what one does.
In essence, "Phone Call" is a song about relationships, the importance of human connectivity, and the power of memories and the experiences we share with others.
