Henry Lin - Can You Hear Me Calling Out to You? lyrics

[Sample: ?] F: Aww thank you... it's MY card Henry: It's my heart, right? F: Are you getting nervous with me? [Verse 1: Henry Lin] Can you hear me calling out to you, out to you, like the green lamp blinking on the lighthouse's roof? An elegy playing candidly on the gramophone, a grandfather clock is my dependable metronome Like a pendulum hurtful words swinging with the back forth 10 stations until Chatswood On the relationship crash course, a dummy's shattered skull on the asphalt, punctured through the dashboard Blame it on the failed airbags - overconfident - completely trusted a head-on collision wasn't proximate Red flags folded into origami roses, I guess a part of me wanted you to notice Asphyxiate my past self in a bathtub of bleach, rip open the calluses to find the distrust for a cheat Apologise for your interpretations of intentions You slowly grow accustomed to my concessions Smeared myself in filth the teenage fears to die a virgin, and spill like a gla** of petrol on her white Persian Almost gave up hope that someone like you existed, amongst the heartless conceited narcissists in tight dresses I remember as a young boy crushing on pretty girls, always thought they called it ‘crushed' ‘cause that's how they made me felt Replying them that I was cool with being friends, only when they f**ed another guy I got what they really meant In amidst the tar and poison was the pristine aromas, your beautiful smile hidden behind a bouquet of lotus Puppy love in the January drizzle, hit the water surface like first date nerves, gentle ripples Opal crystals reflecting like her teary eyes days fully scheduled to forget about the empty nights An insomniac driving on the highway all alone, ‘cause without you I don't know where is home [Hook: Henry Lin] Baby, can you hear me calling out to you, can you, can you hear me calling out to you, out to you [Verse 2: Henry Lin] Baggage is overweight, but what is even there to fear? You would think that it'd be easy now after 20 years You would think that if she left, you wouldn't even be sad, reopen a scab you didn't even know that you had The blood vomits violently like Vesuvius, embrace the sharp agony in every cell, every nucleus Deep breaths inhaling the metallic stench, that no amount of apologies will ever cleanse Photos are evidence, forming the precedents, concocted a distrust for females and their decadence To the anomaly, self-introduction was breathlessness, yet reciprocate with suffocation in jealousness ‘Til I pushed away the only girl that's ever loved, every single part, of who I am and who I was Bending backwards like contortionists, didn't know I was causing it, caressing a floral porcelain - she needed the opposite But it's never clear ‘til it's so late like the coming dawn and a sodium streetlamp pierces through the morning fog Asking why you even coming for when it's pouring dogs? Walking so it's washing all the regrets that I'm holding on ‘Better late than never' don't apply to unsolicited epiphanies when they arrive Was better off when I denied and rendered a handy fiction Literally inking into it ‘remember Sammy Jankis' All my efforts moving on on living low key like an alto voice, wishing maybe we could meet again on a counterpoint Tail-lights fade into the lonely night, give me even a murmur just to show me that you're alright [Sample: ?] I think love is a very precious thing... it's very rare
