Did I fall? Did I get lost?
Did I spill over before I was even full?
I pick imaginary flowers without plucking them,
And leave them with you without a word.
Like a turtle with no legs,
Time crawls along...
When I feel your absence here,
I realize a single truth all by myself.
What is happening within me,
Is it there in your heart too?
My heart races just wondering.
Will you call me? Will you call me?
Will you call, even for a second?
I am being so stubborn...
Unable to bear it any longer, will you call me?
Will you call me? Will you call me?
I lie around without studying,
Fretting over the ticking clock...
Before dawn breaks, will you call me?
What I ought to say,
I rehearsed out loud.
What you ought to reply,
I practiced saying that too.
I ran through rehearsals
For every single part of it...
[Whistling]
I even planned out
Exactly where you should smile.
If this state continues...
What will become of me?
If you call before I forget myself...
I will survive.
Will you call me? Will you call me?
Will you call my phone?
I am jumping up and down restlessly...
Just to hear your voice, will you call me?
Will you call me? Will you call me?
I stay awake at midnight,
Tearing sheets off the calendar...
Just to see you, will you call me?
Hey, like a snack half-eaten
And left covered aside,
Like a song that brushed past my ears
And faded away,
Like a magical fragrance
That wafted past my nose,
Whenever you hang up the phone,
A deep longing blankets my heart.
Shrinking and expanding,
It turns into an entire world.
My heart goes through something entirely new here.
Will you call me? Will you call me?
Will you call without fail?
Even if you dial by mistake...
That is more than enough, will you call me?
Will you call me? Will you call me?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh...
Will you call me? Will you call me?
Even if all words melt away,
If only our silence speaks,
That is enough... will you call me?
