[Verse 1]
You know better, better, better than to let yourself drown, but
Your friends, they never, never, never care enough to help you out
When all that you need is something to believe in
I know that it makes you lose your sleep
But don't you ever, ever, ever make me lose you

[Chorus]
Call me first
Before you take a step from the edge
I tell you all I heard (All I heard)
All I ever learned to make this worth a damn
'Cause I know it hurts
I know that feeling
Promise you call me first
We'll figure it out together word by word

[Verse 2]
I should've been there, been there, been there for you right from the start, but (Right from the start, but)
Life is bitter-, bitter-, bittersweet when it breaks your heart
When all that you need is something to believe in
I know that it makes you lose your sleep
But don't you give up, give up, give up 'cause I can't lose you

[Chorus]
Call me first
Before you take a step from the edge
I tell you all I heard
All I ever learned to make this worth a damn
'Cause I know it hurts
I know that feeling
Promise you call me first
We'll figure it out together word by word
We'll figure it out together word by word
We'll figure it out together word by word
'Cause I know it hurts
I know that feeling
Promise you call me first
We'll figure it out together word by word
