“C” is for Call

When trying to think of a “c” word for the A-Z Challenge, The Barenaked Ladies song Call and Answer  would not leave me alone! So, what follows is a verse-by-verse representation using pictures from Sparkhouse ( A LOT of pictures )

[the link will take you to the song on YouTube, in a separate window, so you can play it in the background while following along with the lyrics in this post]

 

I think it’s getting to the point where I can be myself again

 

It’s getting to the point where we have almost made amends

 

I think it’s the getting to the point that is the hardest part

 

And if you call, I will answer

 

And if you fall, I’ll pick you up

 

And if you court this disaster

 

I’ll point you home, I’ll point you home

 

You think I only think about you when we’re both in the same room

 

I’m only here to witness the remains of love exhumed

 

You think we’re here to play a game of who loves more than whom

 

And if you call, I will answer

 

And if you fall, I’ll pick you up

 

And if you court this disaster

 

(musical interlude)

 

You think it’s only fair to do what’s best for you and you alone

 

It’s only fair to do the same to me when you’re not home

 

I think it’s time to make this something that is more than only fair

 

So if you call, I will answer

 

And if you fall, I’ll pick you up

 

And if you court this disaster

 

I’ll point you home

 

But I’m warning you don’t ever do those crazy messed up things that you do

 

If you ever do I promise you I’ll be the first to crucify you

 

Now it’s time to prove that you’ve come back here to rebuild

 

rebuild

 

rebuild

 

rebuild

 

rebuild…
