Call And Answer Lyrics
I think:
It's getting to the point where I can be myself again
I think:
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
You think:
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...

You think:
It's only fair to do what's best for you and you alone
You think:
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
Rebuild
Rebuild
Rebuild...

AAAAHG! I am a sucker for good piano. I am in love with this. The atmosphere of the song (due to arrangement no doubt) caught me, too, it's... deep. Refreshing~!

"I'll be the first to crucify you" and "Rebuild..." are just beautiful as well.

Yep, couple getting back together with each other. She thinks he's insincere and that he doesn't really love her, he thinks about her only when she is around. She thinks that, because that's the way SHE is.

He wants her to stop thinking only about herself and to think about him and to show him that she actually loves him and wants him around. But, if she isn't willing to do that, then he doesn't want her around and will point her home.

I am (was... haha) a casual BNL fan, but I threw my old BNL album in tonight since I'll be seeing them live tomorrow night, and I know I've heard this song 100 times, but tonight it was like hearing it for the first time. My ex cheated on me, and she's been trying so hard for the whole year to get back with me, and I think this song just helped me make my decision. Wish me luck...

powerful song in being the dumped and finally getting to that spot where you feel like you are yourself again. and where you can finally get to that point where the two of you can be friends and be ok with it.

On the album, Stunt, this song comes right after "Alcohol", so i thought it might be about rehab, and rebuilding his life after a drinking problem. I know the verses don't all fit, but it's one possible interpretation of the song.

I love the video for this song, and the song itself.

I think it's being let down by a friend, whilst you still offer friendship and await their next move. Waiting for an instigation or a sign of approval.

The hardest part is the actual confession and kick-off of the conversation about the "rebuilding".

This song is definitely different than any others they have, but it also stands out a lot.

I actually think there is a platonic level to this song. I see them as a former couple who have ended a deep relationship but must now move on to being "friends". He offers his eternal help and assistance to her but not without judgement and conditions -- the whole "first to crucify you". To me, this is not the blind acceptance of two lovers but rather the conscious and critical oversight of friends. These two are not lovers anymore but they still share a deep bond to each other. It is for that reason that I love the song because it shows a higher level of emotional committment, one that is beyond sex and the romantic. To me, the song is a ode to the ex-girlfriend/ex-wife with whom you can no longer "be with" but who will always be a part of your life.
