When You Get There Songtext
von Danny!

Yo, I ain′t even gonna front like I don't miss you
′Cause I do
But um, whenever you get to where you wanna be in life
Just give me a call, please
Yeah, yeah, just give me a call
Just call me when you get there
Call me when you get there

What's it been like, what, almost like a year now?
Two years? Four?
Well, you did call me that last week
Oh yeah
But you never called back
It's alright though

I just wanna know if you′re happy, you know?
How you doin′, you know?

Let me know how you doin', aight?


Yo, I can never forget the day I saw you at school for the first time
Girl, you must′ve thought you was cool
'Cause you were dressed in all white with your hair pulled up
I knew I′d fall in love if I wasn't careful enough
But our friendship was tainted before it even started
The whispers and the rumors, you swore you′d disregard 'em
'Cause you wanted so bad to believe me
I′m glad you believed me
We became best friends gradually

Left all the drama in the past
Explained that we were friends to
Everybody and they mama when they asked
But the people in the ghetto understood me wrong
And tried to knock me off the pedestal you put me on
But when it got out of hand, I didn′t jot out a plan
I just sit back and watch the show
And now I just sit back and watch you go

I'm missing you so bad, you′re the sister I never had

They say you don't know what you got ′til it's gone
So I guess that all I got is this song
Girl, you got me so weak ′cause we don't even speak
But what do I have to show for it? Only this beat
Only this rhyme, trapped for a moment of time
Let me know how you been doin', baby, show me a sign
When you reach true happiness, just give me a call
Just call me when you get there


I remember when I, um, when I first saw you
I was like, "Whoa, who is that?"
You just grabbed my attention from the start, you know
And as we became closer friends, I
I knew you were in my life for a reason
But um, I took you for granted
And now, well um, kinda sad, and um

Now the bright lights around me seem dimmer
My face seems slimmer ′cause I skip lunch, I miss dinner
But uh, more importantly, I miss you
I wipe my face with a tissue
But I got so many issues that I can′t
Seem to stop the tears from fallin'
Quit messin′ around, damn, just call him
Nope, I want you to call when you get ready
Not because my legs feel like spaghetti
Every time I take a little walk down memory lane

Remember Jerry? Remember Elaine?
It's a little too soon to say goodbye
I knew I should′ve told you 'bout the money I was makin′ on the side
But I was full of pride and I didn't wanna lose you
Let's sit and talk a while, sharin′ stories like we used to
Get used to me askin′ to come back in my life
You almost left me once, but I won't let it happen twice

They say you don′t know what you got 'til it′s gone
So I guess that all I got is this song
Girl, you got me so weak 'cause we don′t even speak
But what do I have to show for it? Only this beat
Only this rhyme, trapped for a moment of time
Let me know how you been doin', baby, show me a sign
When you reach true happiness, just give me a call
Just call me when you get there

We used to, um, we used to go to Sonic Drive-In all the time
And I'd always get the, uh, cherry limeade
And you′d get the pancake on a stick
You used to love the pancakes on a stick
You even tried to get me to get one
And I was like, "Nah, I′m straight"
It'd be like dinnertime and stuff
I′d give anything to take it back to those days, for real

The truth is, girl, yo, I miss you and um
I love you
Please don't shut me out forever
We were, we were so close, I mean, what happened?

I just, we don′t even have to be friends again if you don't want it
Just, just call me
Just, just let me know how you′re doin'
Please, I just wanna know how you been
You, uh, just don't understand
Just whenever you, whenever you get to where you wanna be in life
Just please, just call me
Just, just don′t forget about me, aight?

Call me
