I think the idea behind the story of [this] song is really wonderful as well: a woman trying to reconnect with her long lost father and she finds out he’s on the radio, I think that’s really nice.

First Time Caller Lyrics
[Verse 1]
'Darling, we're starting' she said
'We go live in a heartbeat'
Waiting for something in my car
A little hope out of nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
And through the hum on the line
[Chorus]
She said 'I was a first time caller
But a long-time listener
I've been waiting a while to talk to you'
She said 'I was a first time caller
But a long-time listener
I've been waiting a while to talk to you'
[Verse 2]
Falling like trash from the sky
I hit a patchwork of loneliness, crooked and wild
Hung from the stars and dropped through the night
To a heatwave and hard placelessness, neon and tired
[Pre-Chorus]
And I got nothing but time
[Chorus]
She said 'I was a first time caller
But a long-time listener
I've been waiting a while to talk to you'
She said 'I was a first time caller
But a long-time listener
I've been waiting a while to talk to you'
[Outro]
I want you to love me
More than I love you
Tell me if that's something you can do
I want you to love me
More than I love you
Tell me if that's something you can do
(First time caller, long-time listener)
I want you to love me
(First time caller, long-time listener)
More than I love you (More than this, then I'll love you)
(First time caller, long-time listener)
Tell me if that's something you can do
(First time caller, long-time listener)
I want you to love me
(First time caller, long-time listener)
More than I love you (More than this, then I'll love you)
(First time caller, long-time listener)
Tell me if that's something you can do
