The Call
By: Matt Kennon

Today was gonna be the day
He’d already wrote the note
And parked that Chevrolet
At the end of that dead end road
Had his finger on the trigger; just about to end everything
He was taking one last long breathe; when he heard his cell phone ring

And his best friends say man where you been?
We’re headed down to the lake this weekend
You better not miss it ´cause buddy I swear
It won’t be the same If you aint there
And I told that girl that you like so much
You were coming along and her eyes lit up
I better let you go man I really hope I didn’t catch you in the middle of anything
He said you kinda did but I don’t mind at all
I’m glad you called

In another town down the road
In the backseat of a car
Two 18 year olds had let a kiss go to far
He said how are we gonna have this child
When were both headed off to school?
He convinced her late one night there’s only one thing to do

She was scared to death in that waiting room
When the nurse asked how far along are you
She said 5 weeks and just about then her phone lit up
And his call came in
Saying baby I was wrong about everything
I’ve already bought you a diamond ring we’re gonna start a life
Would you be my wife
Boy or girl; pink or blue; yeah either way
All she could say as she felt those tear drops falls was
I’m so glad you called

If someone you know is waiting on your mind
And needs a friend on the other end line
Don’t hesitate what you say may seem so small
But who knows
They might be glad you called

So make the call

Yeah make that call

I chose this song because I like the message that it is trying to convey. Most people don’t realize that the little actions that they do, can have a huge effect on someone else. I like how the song used a simple phone call, because I feel like people don’t really call each other anymore. In each instance, the song suggested that being there for someone when they need it the most could help them out a lot. The song begins ambiguous, but also reveals the path the guy was headed on as well. This song applies to me because I know how it feels to want someone to call you, and when they do makes things seem so much better than what they were. In the end, all that matters is that you’re there for someone who needs it the most.
