Description
It sounds like a conversation that has been put off for a long time but has finally broken out. There is anxiety here - not to be left alone at the top of one's own mountain - and a timid hope that there is someone nearby who will pick up the phone at the right moment. The words convey both fragility and strength: the acknowledgment that help is needed and that the right to it is also deserved. The music seems to cast a soft light in the darkness: yes, there are plenty of mistakes, but the chance to “get it right” is still alive and very close.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Get it right, ooh, yeah
I'll get it right, ooh, yeah
I'll get it right, ooh
I'll get it right, ooh, yeah
Always on the edge lookin' down
Over mountain tops that you climbed with no one around
You've been tryin' way to hard just to be you
You tryna make a point when we already see you
You don't gotta go all alone by yourself, no
I'm there if you're lonely, oh-oh
Do you got someone like that?
Do you need someone like that?
Do you know you deserve someone like that, someone like that?
Oh, is it right when I don't know what I don't know?
Would it be wrong if I gotta sit, gotta think this through?
Is it alright that I called you back?
Is it wrong that I didn't hold back?
You hit me right when I need it the most
Who's gonna call when you need help?
How much longer 'til you gon' call home?
Where's that number when you sinkin', oh
When you need it most when you need it most?
Uh, when you need it most, and you're feelin' numb
And your heart is achin', oh
Who you gonna share your last meal with, last meal with?
Oh
Do you got someone like that?
Do you need someone like that?
Do you know you deserve someone like that, someone like that?
Oh, is it right when I don't know what I don't know? (Know, oh)
Would it be wrong if I gotta sit, gotta think this through? (Through)
Is it alright that I called you back?
Is it wrong that I didn't hold back?
You hit me right when I need it the most
Get it right, ooh, yeah
I'll get it right, ooh, yeah
I'll get it right, ooh
I'll get it right, ooh, yeah
