  • Call me up to meet you
    Static on the phone
    Normally I need you, this time I don't wanna go
    Lately, I been growing into someone you don't know
    You had the chance to love her but apparently you don't
    No, you don't

    So even if I could, wouldn't go back where we started
    I know you're still waiting, wondering where my heart is
    Praying things won't change, but the hardest part is
    You're realizing maybe I, maybe I ain't the same
    And what you're waiting for ain't there no more anyway

    Held you up so highly, deep under your spell
    Your opinions would define me, this time I made some for myself
    'Cause lately I been certain there's no further to go, whoa
    Yeah, you had the chance to love me but apparently you won't
    No, you won't
    No, you won't

    So even if I could, wouldn't go back where we started
    I know you're still waiting, wondering where my heart is
    Praying things won't change, but the hardest part is
    You're realizing maybe I, maybe I ain't the same
    And what you're waiting for ain't there no more anyway

    And it's okay, I'm not gonna remember you that way
    You say I'm different now like that's so strange
    But I was only eighteen
    And you should've known that I was always gonna change

    Even if I could, wouldn't go back where we started
    I know you're still waiting, wondering where my heart is
    Praying things won't change, but the hardest part is
    You're realizing maybe I, maybe I ain't the same

    And what you're waiting for ain't there no more anyway Writer/s: Bastian Langebaek, Max Wolfgang, Olivia Lauryn Dean
