The 7th song off Barenaked Ladies 4th studio album, Call and Answer describes a meeting between two former lovers in the midst of a drawn out, painful breakup.
[Verse 1]
I think
It's getting to the point where I can be myself again (I think)
It's getting to the point where we have almost made amends
I think
It's the getting to the point that is the hardest part
[Chorus]
And if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you court this disaster
I'll point you home
I'll point you home
[Verse 2]
You think
I only think about you when we're both in the same room (You think)
I'm only here to witness the remains of love exhumed
You think
We're here to play a game of who loves more than whom (more than whom)
[Chorus]
And if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you court this disaster
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
You think
It's only fair to do what's best for you and you alone (You think)
It's only fair to do the same to me when you're not home
I think
It's time to make this something that is more than only fair
[Chorus]
So if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you court this disaster
I'll point you home
[Outro]
But I'm warning you, don't ever do
Those crazy, messed-up things that you do
If you ever do, I promise you
I'll be the first to crucify you
Now it's time to prove that you've come back here to rebuild
Rebuild, rebuild, rebuild
Rebuild, rebuild, rebuild, rebuild
Rebuild, rebuild, rebuild, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Rebuild, rebuild)
