One Call Away Lyrics

[Chorus]
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away

[Verse 1]
Call me, baby, if you need a friend
I just wanna give you love
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Reaching out to you, so take a chance

[Pre-Chorus]
No matter where you go
You know you're not alone


[Chorus]
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away

[Verse 2]
Come along with me and don't be scared
I just wanna set you free
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
You and me can make it anywhere
But for now, we could stay here for a while (Hey)
'Cause you know, I just wanna see you smile

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Charlie Puth say about "One Call Away"?
Genius Answer

Charlie told iHeart:

‘One Call Away’ is about anybody who is in love with somebody, and doesn’t get to see that person every single day. That’s the e-cards that people used to send to you over email. I feel like people use them more as memes now. Well, this is your musical meme for not seeing a person that you love so dearly for a really, really long time.
