Voicemail
This song appears to be a ballad about unrequited love and the fear of rejection. The speaker is nervous to express their feelings directly to the person they are interested in, so they wrote a song as a way of telling them how they feel. The use of the movie reference in the first verse sets up an idealized scenario that contrasts with the reality of the situation, which is more uncertain and nerve-wracking. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that the speaker is hoping that the person they are interested in will listen to the song and understand their feelings. The use of the phrase "as my voicemail" is a clever way of emphasizing the idea that the song is serving as a message to the person the speaker is interested in. Overall, this is a sweet and relatable song that will resonate with many people who have experienced feelings of shyness and uncertainty when it comes to love.
Verse 1
If this was a movie I’d give you a call
I’d leave you a message and tell you all
so many things I could say to you
but I ain’t brave enought to talk to you
my hands are shaking they’re getting cold
trying so hard to let you go
look what you’ve done
you should be flattered that I’m so scared to talk to you
Chorus
so I wrote you this song
cause how else would you know?
I’ve liked you for so long
I guess now you know
If you don’t feel the same
you won’t be the one to blame cause
this ain’t no fairytale
but I wrote you this song
as my voicemail
Verse 2
if this was a movie you’d show up at my door
you’d ring the bell and say to myself
that you can’t stay so far away
far away from me anymore
but back to reality, this ain’t a fantasy
what if I am losing my sanity?
cause here I am imagining
things with you constantly
Chorus
so I wrote you this song
cause how else would you know?
I’ve liked you for so long
I guess now you know
if you don’t feel the same
you won’t be the one to blame cause
this ain’t no fairytale
but I wrote you this song
Bridge
will you call me back?
will you call me back?
Chorus
so I wrote you this song
cause how else would you know?
I’ve liked you for so long
I guess now you know
If you don’t feel the same
you won’t be the one to blame cause
this ain’t no fairytale but
I wrote you this song
as my voicemail
