First Time Caller Lyrics


Darling, we're starting, she said
We go alive in a heartbeat
Waiting for something in my car
A little hope out of nothing
And through the hum on the line

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

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 in hard placelessness, neon tiles
And I got nothing but time

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

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
First time caller, long time listener
First time caller, long time listener
First time caller, long time listener

First Time Caller
  • This orchestral, synthesizer-tinged song is from Big TV, a concept album about a girl who leaves her boyfriend for the big city to see her absentee father. This song captures their reunion when she rings a relationship phone-in show. Bassist and lyricist Charles Cave told NME: "That's the song a lot of people have been very moved by, even though it's a pop song. He says. 'Ok, what do you want from me?' And she says the only thing that could ever make anything right is if they end up in a relationship where he cared for her more than she cared for him. That topic features regularly on the record if there is ever an equal relationship where you respect and love each other in exactly the same weight. I'm not sure it does exist."
