"Call Me (Whatever You Like)" lyrics - NATHANIEL RATELIFF

Well, they told me, they told me that you ain't got friends
And I'm staring 'round the room and I'm the only one that's left
It's a wonder, it's a wonder you come out ahead
In a moment thought for sure I'd wind up dead

Well, I've already, I've already been through this
It's a cold way to look at yourself and then just laugh
Well, it's high time, it's time that you get bent
And I point in the direction where I think it'll come to a head

[Chorus:]
Ah, you just call me whatever you like
And you can fold me until it's right
I was gonna walk but I probably wouldn't get there fast
'Cause the wind could pick up and knock me on my ass

And they told me you know this too shall pass
So collect yourself and play your dying number, man
Well, you held it, you held it in your hands
But you let it slip and watch it all collapse

[Chorus:]
You just call me whatever you like
And if they stone me remember I tried
When you run there's no point, no point in looking back
You don't fall into the future and wind up in your past
You just call me whatever you like
Just call me whatever you like
'Cause I'm gonna keep pulling from the corners of my heart
And leave this cynical shit so far behind, yeah
