lyrics

I got my big city dreams, you got your small town pride,
But at the end of it all, we’re gonna share our lives.
The only kind of love, that we have ever known
Can weather any storm, so we send it through the phone.

You call me up just to say hello.
There ain’t nothing new, and you already know.
You don’t say much, but it’s more than enough,
When you call me up just to say hello.

I’m finding myself, like I’ve always been told:
Before you walk together, you’ve gotta stand on your own.
We’re putting in the work. It’s putting up a fight.
We keep telling ourselves, what we’re doing is right.

You call me up just to say hello.
There ain’t nothing new, and you already know.
You don’t say much, but it’s more than enough,
When you call me up just to say hello.

I could have stayed. I would have for you,
But you’d never ask me to.
You could have come. you would have for me,
But this way we don’t have to choose,

Between my big city dreams, and your small town pride,
And at the end of it all, we gonna share our lives.

You call me up just to say hello.
There ain’t nothing new, and you already know.
You don’t say much, but it’s more than enough,
When you call me up just to say hello.

You don’t say much, but you’re sending all your love,
When you call me up just to say hello.
