LYRICS
IntroYou don't get to call me home...
CrowdNo, you don't.
Verse 1You knew every crack in my driveway,
every light I left on late.
Knew the coffee I would order,
knew the look I couldn't fake.
You knew how to make me stay there,
knew exactly what to say.
Then you packed up all that knowing
and you threw it all away.
Pre-ChorusI used to wait up for your headlights,
I used to leave that porch light on.
Now if you're looking for the girl you left—
Baby, she's gone.
ChorusYou don't get to call me home,
(No, you don't!)
just because the road got cold.
You don't get to call me home,
CrowdNo, you don't.
(No, you don't!)
just because you're sleeping alone.
You had my heart, you let it go,
now everybody knows—
You don't get to call me home,
not anymore.
Post-ChorusNo, you don't!
No, you don't!
You don't get to call me home.
No, you don't!
No, you don't!
Not anymore.
Verse 2There's a new song on the jukebox,
there's a new dress on my skin.
There's a whole lot more to living
than just waiting to be missed.
I can drive past where we started,
I can hear our song and smile.
I don't hate the way you loved me—
I just outgrew it by a mile.
Pre-ChorusNow you're saying you were foolish,
saying you were wrong all along.
But you don't get the old me back—
Baby, she's gone.
ChorusYou don't get to call me home,
(No, you don't!)
just because the road got cold.
You don't get to call me home,
(No, you don't!)
just because you're sleeping alone.
You had my heart, you let it go,
now everybody knows—
You don't get to call me home,
not anymore.
Post-ChorusNo, you don't!
No, you don't!
You don't get to call me home.
No, you don't!
No, you don't!
Not anymore.
BridgeThere was a time one midnight call
could've had me running back.
There was a time your name alone
could've put me on that track.
But a heart gets tired of breaking,
and a girl learns how to know:
Missing where you used to live
doesn't make it home.
BuildDo you miss me?
(Yeah!)
Do you want me?
(Yeah!)
Do you get to call me home?
(NO!)
Final ChorusYou don't get to call me home,
(No, you don't!)
just because the road got cold.
You don't get to call me home,
(No, you don't!)
just because you're sleeping alone.
You had my heart, you let it go,
now everybody knows—
You don't get to call me home,
not anymore.
Final Post-ChorusNo, you don't!
No, you don't!
You don't get to call me home.
No, you don't!
No, you don't!
Not anymore.
You don't get to call me home!
OutroYou had my heart.
You let it go.
So you don't get to call me home.
