Call Me Tonight

You walk past me in the hallway Like you don’t even know my name But I catch you looking sideways Boy, we’re playing silly games You act cool around your friends Like you don’t care at all But I see the way you freeze Every time I call Why you pretending? Why you playing shy? You say you’re independent But you can’t deny So call me tonight Don’t make me wait by the phone You know it feels right Why you acting like you don’t? Tell me you miss me Even if it’s a lie Just call me tonight Don’t say goodbye I replay our conversation Like a song inside my head Every word you almost said Still hanging by a thread My friends say I’m dramatic That I overthink too much But they don’t feel the static When we almost touch You say “maybe,” You say “we’ll see.” But I don’t want a maybe I want you and me So call me tonight Tell me what you’re scared to say We don’t need forever Just don’t walk away Say that you need me Even if it’s just for a while Call me tonight Make it worth my smile Maybe I’m too young to know Maybe I just feel too much But every time you let me go I’m still waiting for your touch So call me tonight Don’t let this fade away We don’t need perfect Just don’t make me beg to stay Call me tonight Say it like you mean it this time Even if we fall apart At least you’ll be mine tonight
