The Strokes - Call Me Back

Listen to The Strokes' track "Call Me Back" from their fourth studio album Angles.

Lyrics:

Wait time is the worst
I can hardly sit
No one has the time
Someone's always late

I look for you
And you look for me

I don't know why
I came down
I hold your phone
Don't wake up
I hear a voice
In the ground

Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you

Wait time is to blame
Mapped out fame's a trip
We all have the time
Someone's always fed

I look for you
And you look away

I don't know why
I came down
I hold your phone
Don't wake up
I hear a voice
In the ground

(Waking up is so much fun to do)
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
(An 80's movie make-out party with you)
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you

I love the part where he's like: "Ch-Ch- I look you for and you look for me whoaa oohhh oh" lol

[TheReverantChoir]

This is their best song in this record imo.
The guitar riff sounds like a ringtone also, and Julian''s vocals, so lovely.

[chi]

this is the prettiest song ive ever heard. thats the only way i can describe it. its art

[MrMABU]

this song came into my head at the absolute worst moment of my life. I don't know why, why this song? and it made me feel that although everything had went to shit, I was not alone, to this day I'm not sure why it had that effect, but it did, and I am grateful

[SherissaGo]

you know even though this is a complete 180 to their signature sound, it still sounds amazing

[derrick]

Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling you
Something that you would not like me to tell you

This part was an amazing experience using headphones

"Wait time is to blame...."

Both waiting to make a move and waiting for them to reply after a confession.

The feeling of anxiety and discomfort of not knowing what they will say or do leads people to make bad choices in the wake of fear

[oxyroid]

Reminds me of the outro of Ouran HS Host club for some reason

[caroblackrose]

I look for you and you look away :c .. that's the saddest part...

I just getting into The Strokes and they're already blow my mind. I love 'em !

[maggley]

shissou guitar riff and life is strange vibes

[hotebeamuerteee]

1:48 the way its sang and the lyrics r just beautiful 🦋🦋

[heathenly_aesthetic]

I just lost my partner back in August, and this has been my comfort song for sitting with that grief. Thanks Jules ♡

[nataliavargas]

I want to have an 80s movie make-out party with Julian tbh

[DIVINMOON]

you know you are really hurting when the first guitar note gets you..

[WhitleyAKW]

"Tell me, don't tell me the hot pocket's telling me something that it would not like me to tell you..."

[Benadryl_Submarine]

my fav song on the album; really shows off julians voice.

[monkindisguise]

A friend made me listen to this song while high. I guess I had great companions.

[CardinalSergeant]

I LOOK FOR U AND UUUU LOOOOK FOR WHOOOA OH WHOOOAAA OH OH

[countmontiaga]

one of the the great all time bands hands down!

[themanusouza]

Solo de guitarra perfeito, isso é The Strokes man!
