About Calling You

"Calling You" is a song by American alternative rock band Blue October. It was initially released in 2003 as the only single from the album History for Sale, peaking at number 35 on the Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks chart. It later gained a resurgence of popularity and radio play after it was included on the American Wedding soundtrack.

This version of the song is featured on Foiled for the Last Time.

There's something that I can't quite explain
I'm so in love with you
You'll never take that away
And if I said it a hundred times before
Expect a thousand more
You'll never take that away

Well expect me to be calling you to see
if you're okay when I'm not around
Askin' if you love me
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile
To make a smile

[Chorus]
Well I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping, are you dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me?
I can't believe, you actually picked me

I thought that the world had lost its way
(Its so hard sometimes)
Then I feel in love with you
(Then came you)
And you took that away
(Its not so diffcult, the one's not so difficult)

You take away the old, show me the new
I feel like I can fly when I stand next to you
So while I'm on this phone
And hundred miles away from home
I'll take the words you gave and send them back to you

Well expect me to be calling you to see
if you're okay when I'm not around
Askin' if you love me
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile
To make a smile

[Chorus: x3]
