As Nate describes it, “Call It Off” is the “odd-child track” on Paid in Exposure. In a similar vein of “Take Me Anywhere,” this song is very mental health-centric, focusing on allowing yourself to just feel how you feel. Nate expresses his frustrations with people theorizing about everything he says...
[Verse 1]
Hey, I'm sick of feeling I'm sinking
I'm getting so sick of thinking
'Cause it just makes me wanna stop
Wait, can't figure out what I'm missing
And I forgot how to listen
To the things that I really want
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel so small that I got it all, what I can't afford
The way's unlocked, but I'm too tired to open the door
[Chorus]
Oh, and now my life is
All up, for everyone to break down
And think they've got it figured out
Oh, my doors are locked up
No one is getting in
Until I open up and call it off
I can't open up and call it off
[Verse 2]
Hey, I'm sick of dealing with people
And yet I know I'm their equal
No, I'm no better than anyone else
Hide, I wish that no one can see me
Yeah, maybe life will be easy
If I learned how to let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel so small that I got it all, what I can't afford (Oh, I can't afford)
The way's unlocked but I'm too tired to open the door
[Chorus]
Oh, and now my life is
All up, for everyone to break down
And think they've got it figured out
Oh, my doors are locked up
No one is getting in
Until I open up and call it off
Oh, I'll bet you tried to
Dig up and find a deeper meaning
You think is hiding in a song
Oh, my doors are locked up
No one is getting in
Until I open up and call it off
[Bridge]
A cry for help, that's what you're thinking or you're wishing
Well maybe I just wanna vent
Don't break it down, just let it be what it will be
Just let me be a little discontent
[Chorus]
Oh, and now my life is
All up, for everyone to break down
And think they've got it figured out
Oh, my doors are locked up
No one is getting in
Until I open up and call it off
Oh, and now my life is
All up, for everyone to break down
And think they've got it figured out
Oh, my doors are locked up
No one is getting in
'Til I open up and call it off
I can't open up and call it off

The odd-child track. This one, to me, is so different. I almost didn’t include it but I’m glad I did. Lyrically, this was another therapeutic one. Going back to mental hea...
