Lyrics

CAN’T STOP CALLING YOU BABY

V1
I’m feeling like a cowboy in winter in this urban hotel
The kind of place where you keep your eyes low, when you’re passing strangers in the halls
Still sometimes I dream of your whisper in the walls
Vs 2
And the wind and the rain here don't sound like laughter
The way it does in your hay barn’s rafters, lover’s lightning in the air
And I know I shouldn't be thinking this way, it’s a corduroy road it’s gonna take me
Chorus 1
And baby there might be things we shouldn’t say anymore
And baby there are good times we can choose to ignore
But baby I CAN’T STOP CALLING YOU BABY
Vs 3
It seemed like we were going south, so we thought it best
To take some time, and I headed west, and damn, that was the dumbest thing I've ever done.
When a heart is empty, it never seems to feel the sun
And I know I shouldn't be thinking ‘bout you, but really it's all that I ever do
Chorus 2
And baby there might be things we shouldn’t say anymore
And baby there are good times we can choose to ignore
But baby I CAN’T STOP CALLING YOU BABY
Bridge
But when you called to say keep the suitcase, when we both know it was mine in the first place
Ah, it was great just to hear you smile
So if you’re thinking there's a chance you'll be, feeling like you might be feeling like me, are you feeling like me
Chorus 3
Well then baby let’s not care about things we can’t say anymore
And baby there are good times we can never ignore
But baby I CAN’T STOP CALLING YOU BABY
I don't wanna stop calling you baby
