Call If You Need Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I love you in the morning when the blood runs to your cheeks
Babe, you are the first thing and the last thing that I'd see
I was just a boy striking matches upon your heart
I couldn't get no sparks
Ask me to go faster, put my foot down to the floor
Standing at the edge, I feel like I been here before
Loved you in the darkness and I loved you in fluorescent light
If it don't feel right, babe
[Refrain]
You can run and hide, babe
Like a bird, you can take flight
If I've been holding on too tight
If I've been holding on
Mmm, oooh
Oooh, oooh, ooooh
[Verse 2]
Your mother always told us we should go out to the dance
You can't get struck by lightning if you're not standing in the rain
Take it as the truth or you can take it with a grain of salt
If it don't work out
You were in the shower we were talking through the glass
Packing up your suitcase, you were humming to yourself
One day you were smiling, I could tell by how you sounded on the phone
You said "I'm coming home, babe"
I love you in the morning when the blood runs to your cheeks
Babe, you are the first thing and the last thing that I'd see
I was just a boy striking matches upon your heart
I couldn't get no sparks
Ask me to go faster, put my foot down to the floor
Standing at the edge, I feel like I been here before
Loved you in the darkness and I loved you in fluorescent light
If it don't feel right, babe
[Refrain]
You can run and hide, babe
Like a bird, you can take flight
If I've been holding on too tight
If I've been holding on
Mmm, oooh
Oooh, oooh, ooooh
[Verse 2]
Your mother always told us we should go out to the dance
You can't get struck by lightning if you're not standing in the rain
Take it as the truth or you can take it with a grain of salt
If it don't work out
You were in the shower we were talking through the glass
Packing up your suitcase, you were humming to yourself
One day you were smiling, I could tell by how you sounded on the phone
You said "I'm coming home, babe"
[Refrain]
I'm thinking 'bout coming home, babe
I'm thinking 'bout coming home, babe
I'm thinking 'bout coming home, babe
I'm thinking 'bout coming home
Mmm
I'm thinking 'bout coming home, babe
Mmm
I'm thinking 'bout coming home
I'm thinking 'bout coming home, babe
I'm thinking 'bout coming home, babe
I'm thinking 'bout coming home, babe
I'm thinking 'bout coming home
Mmm
I'm thinking 'bout coming home, babe
Mmm
I'm thinking 'bout coming home

What did Vance Joy say about "Call If You Need Me"?
Genius Answer
This song I chose to be the first song because it’s one of my favourites on the album. It’s got a lo-fi vibe and I play a littler guitalele, which is a mini-guitar basically. I really like this lyric in this song about talking to someone while they’re having a shower, through the glass.
– Vance Joy in a 2018 interview with triple j.
Is there an official live recording of this song?
