Strokes, The - Call Me Back Lyrics






Wait time is the worst
I can hardly sit
No one has the time
Someone's always late

I look for you
And you look for me
Wooah, oh, oh, oh, oh

I don't know why
I came down
I hold your phone
Don't wake up
I hear a voice
In the ground

Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you

Wait time is to blame
Mapped out fame's a trip
We all have the time
Someone's always fed

I look for you
And you look away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I don't know why
I came down
I hold your phone
Don't wake up
I hear a voice
In the ground

(Waking up is so much fun to do)
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
(An 80's movie make out party with you)
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you

    Wait time is the worst
    I can hardly sit
    No one has the time
    Someone is always late
    I look for you
    And you look for me, whoa, ohh
    I don’t know why I came down
    I hold your phone, don’t wake up
    I hear a voice, in the ground…
    Tell me, don’t tell me
    The hard part is telling me
    Something that you are not likely to telling
    Tell me, don’t tell me
    The hard part is telling me
    Something that you are not likely to telling
    Wait time is to blame
    I thought fame was a trip
    We all have the time
    Someone is always feared
    I look for you
    And you look away, ohh
    I don’t know why I came down
    I hold your phone, don’t wake up
    I hear a voice in the ground…
    Waiting up is so much fun to do
    80s movies make out party

  30. M.... R....

    Truly the greatest band of our time.

  31. S.... E....

    Is there a live version of this song? I've bee trying to find a live performance...

  32. A.... ....

    this is the ex of harry styles, camille rowe and honestly, nice taste harry ksjfjkgjd

  33. M.... M....

    Sweetheart...,eni..enthinanaavo...ee waiting?Convinced aayille...kuttaaaa..,KPU

  34. C.... C....

    I need I like it for music

  35. C.... C....

    Wowowo this song is beautifull

  36. S.... E....

    The most beautiful video clip. Just simple

  37. J.... T....

    I cant get over the "Ch-Ch" at 0:35

  38. L.... /....

    I prefer the original one than any covers.

  39. c.... ....

    this video is everything

  40. d.... a....

    Yeah that's the "leaked" everything I wanted by billie eilish..

    d.... a....

    Honestly I don't see the resemblance but then again I'm in public and no headphones

    d.... a....

    @90sbabes The Strokes changed music in the early 2000's, billy eilish did not. Please don't ever say something so fucking dumb ever again.

    d.... a....

    addy nicole say sike right now

    d.... a....

    Anthony Ricci chill, people are allowed to have a opinion. That’s the point of YouTube comments. If that’s what they think that’s what they think, that’s what they think. I’m sorry you don’t feel that way.

    d.... a....

    No hate on Billie ( I actually like her) but I don’t think it was an actual good cover, Idk it changed completely the song and the emotions for me

  41. a.... n....

    And pp think that this is the new billie eilish song all i wanted😂

  42. C.... R....

    Garota de ipanema

  43. U.... J....

    Intro pretty slick

  44. D.... C....

    The one thing about this band I love so much is how poetic they are, it’s not Julians voice or his lyrics. But the instrumentals, they way they work so well together is extraordinary. My favorite band EVER, with some people they don’t understand the lyrics to most of the songs which totally sucks. I feel it’s only for those who can really connect to it, to really understand the whole depth. I wish they would create more material in the future, or at least be able to see one of their shows in person.

  45. S.... ....

    Tell Me I'm Pretty

  46. R.... N....

    The beginning reminds me of ouran high school host club

    R.... N....

    Raging Nuggets SHISSOU!

    R.... N....

    tommy wasabi YESS

  47. S.... b....

    Madison Pake
