Calling Your Name Songtext
von Jonah Smith

When the day turns into night
Slowly walking down the street
To another night of work
That will leave you dead on your feet
Slaving in a hot kitchen′s got you all fired up
Your temper is getting shorter these days
You just don't seem to have time for the bullshit
Getting slack that you don′t deserve
But pretty soon they're gonna have to find a new screw to turn

The water's deep, and the river′s wide
Like all these things for which you strive
Was it fame that gave you those starry eyes
I think it′s calling your name

Your name
Calling your name
Your name
Calling your name


Like Sonny Rollins on the Willie B
You feel you need to escape the scene
'Cause every day is just more of the same
Everyone thinking they′re the next big thing
And they're walking around with their head in a daze
Trying to figure out just what to say
If they ever got their fifteen minutes of fame
Well, it′s about to drive you insane
But then they say, "What are you going to do if it starts calling your name"

Calling your name
Your name
Calling Your Name

When the night turns into day
And you're washing your face in some stranger′s sink
And she's begging you to stay
It was a decent lay but you're all tired out now
Whatever happened to those rock star dreams
They seem to fade away with each bill you pay
Just another worker in song
Unemployed in the city of dreams gone wrong

The waters deep and the rivers wide
Like all these things for which you strive
Was it fame that gave you those starry eyes
I think it′s calling your name
It′s calling your name
It's calling your name
It′s calling your name
I think it's calling your name


The water′s deep and the river's wide
I think it′s calling your name
