Rest assured I know I’m burdened by assumption
[Chorus]

Call your name out high

Same old story we all serve
[Chorus]
Call your name out high
Till I feel forever and not just the night
All that I have when the lights are out telling you I’ve tried
But it figures it dims when you're not in my sight
Please can you tell me why
Call your name out high
Till I feel forever and not just the night
All that I have when the lights are out telling you I've tried
But it figures it dims when you're not in my sight
Couldn’t make my high
