MEANING/LYRICS

[Verse: 2]
When you’re weary and the road is dark
And I’ll guide you with the beating of my heart
And if the cavalry and the help don’t come
Well then we’ll find a way to dodge a smoking gun

[Pre-Chorus]
Cuz oh-oh-oh
We’ll say a little prayer
But oh-oh-oh
If the answer isn’t fair

[Chorus]
You know you can call on me
When you need somebody
You know you can call on me
When you can’t stop the tears from falling down

You know you can call on me
Call on me, darling
You know you can call on me
Call on me, darling

The lyrics are about the narrator providing support and wishing hope to their loved one. As observed in the verse above, the narrator would guide their loved one out of dark times, even fight with them against any opposing forces. The pre-chorus and chorus strengthen this theme, overall creating a track with a positive, uplifting message of love and support!
