Collect Songtext
von Matthew Young

Baby, used to be the born star, runnin′ the pack
Then your whole clique took a knife to your back
And your girls, they got the dirt on you
What'd you do to make ′em turn on you?

Got nobody in your corner cuttin' you slack
When every bridge burned, is about to collapse
See fate like it's not for you
I hear they′re talkin′ jail time for you

But if you call me collect
I'll be anywhere you need me
I′ll be there
We got a kind of connection, you don't have to say a word
Baby, anywhere you want me
I′ll be there

Our life, like on a road, 'til you ran out of luck
It′s like you've gone from Obama to Trump
Things are lookin' pretty down for you
The city′s rainin′ down on you


Before you even got a chance to prepare for the flood
You never saw the sign, poof, there it was
Everybody talkin' down on you
They want to go another round on you

But if you call me collect
I′ll be anywhere you need me
I'll be there
We got a kind of connection, you don′t have to say a word
Baby, anywhere you want me
I'll be there

′Cause I got you
Every single moment, I got you
Yeah, I stay devoted, I got you
And I don't give a shit who knows that I got you
Baby, I got you

I see them talkin' shit on social media
Can′t afford that one-way ticket on Expedia
Damn it, tryin′ to buy your way to peace
They screamin', "Run, baby, run," but you can′t hide the feelin', nah

It′s written on your face, now
I can see it even when you're layin′ face down
I figure we can just replace 'em with good booze and good sounds
Drown 'em out


But if you call me collect
I′ll be anywhere you need me
I′ll be there
We got a kind of connection, you don't have to say a word
Baby, anywhere you want me
I′ll be there

I'll be there
I′ll be there
I'll be there
