The song deals with being clumsily in love and feeling like an outsider. Claud explained to The Fader:
“I wrote ‘Never Meant To Call’ about the awkwardness of being on the outside looking in, but the video works to capture the beauty of that. I decided to embrace the lonely feeling of being an outs...
[Verse 1]
I'm halfway there
Happened to stop by Courtney's
Bought you some shit you don't need
I'm halfway there
Hope you don't see me coming
I might be walking funny
I might be
[Pre-Chorus]
I had a plan to take you by the hand
Till I saw you leaning her against your door
[Chorus]
Never meant to call, never meant to call
Never meant to call when she's in your room
Never meant to call, never meant to call
Never meant to call when she's in your room
(Never meant to call when she's in your room)
[Verse 2]
Where went my day?
I hope you know you caught me
Can't seem to say the right thing
Still on my way
Showed up too high to dump me
I might be walking funny
I might be
[Pre-Chorus]
I had a plan to take you by the hand
Till I saw you leaning her against your door
[Chorus]
Never meant to call, never meant to call
Never meant to call when she's in your room
Never meant to call, never meant to call
Never meant to call when she's in your room
Never meant to call, never meant to call
Never meant to call when she's in your room
Never meant to call when she's in your room
Never meant to call when she's in your room
I'm halfway there
Never meant to call when she's in your room
I'm halfway there
Never meant to call when she's in your room
[Outro]
(Never meant to call when she's in your room
Never meant to call when she's in your room)
