about

Last track on the album. This was intended to be the "secret song" because it's the one that is outside of the theme of the concept album. It stands alone as the only love song and features Aminah's only time singing in Portuguese, even if briefly. This song is naked, raw, and intentionally "unfinished" in feeling, as this love story very much is.

lyrics

I called you just to say
I never wanted it to end that way
I called you just to say
I’ve missed you almost every day
That all the blood on the moon
Won’t scare me away

I called you just to say
All those letters – I never threw them away
I called you just to say
That I finally figured it out
What all those fights were really all about
That the hurt in your voice was real
And pushing is just how you deal
I called you just to say
I love you with all I have

I called you just to say
That I’ll be by your side always
Even when you’re wrong, my love
Even when you’re so fucking wrong
And that you’ve been the one all along
And nothing else could do
And no one will compare to you
And even though you don’t get it now
And even if I’m wrong
Know that I loved you all the way through

How could you
How could you dare ask me to give you away?
How could you just ask me to walk away?
When I called you just to say
That I loved you all the way

So te liguei pra dizer
Que te amo outra vez
Te amo, te amo toda vez

I called you just to say
Maybe we’ll try again some other day?
But if this is really the end now
And if it’s really over
Just know that I loved you all the way
