Lyrics
Call On Me
[William Livesay/John Bradley ©2016]
You choose a path of most resistance
Roll the dice despite insistence
Gambling that the world
Won't let you down let you down
You're a skeptic so you keep your distance
Disregard the mere existence
Of those who went before and covered
Sacred ground sacred ground
You might think that you can fool yourself
But you can't escape the pain
So call on me if you lose your way
And you can't unlock the door without a key
Or the temperature falls and you start to shiver
And your hoodie's not enough to fill your needs
C'mon and call on me
Call on me
You're a renegade that's lost their way
A defector from the every day
Youth in all its glory
Oh it can be hard can be hard
So come in from the battlefield
And give your bruises time to heal
It doesn't mean You're changing
Who you are who you are
You could make it easy on yourself
But your pride gets in the way
You can call on me when your down on your luck
And it seems like the world is at an end
Or your lover says goodbye and breaks your heart
And you feel like you haven't got a friend
C'mon and call on me
Call on me
Ooh the world is heavy and there aren't that many
Who can shoulder that weight alone
C'mon and reach out… I'll be there
Creating your own misery
Will never get you sympathy
Sometimes the lessons that we learn
Are from the little bits we've overheard
So lighten up and feel the wind on your shoulder
Before you know it you're a whole lot older
So call on me if you lose your way
And you can't unlock the door without a key
Or the temperature falls and you start to shiver
And your hoodie's not enough to fill your needs
You can call on me if your down on your luck
And it seems like the world is at an end
Or your lover says goodbye and breaks your heart
And you feel like you haven't got a friend
C'mon and call on me c'mon and call on me
Call on me
Call on me
Call on me
