    Lyrics:
    I just needed a little while
    Time for to figure it out
    In a little quiet
    I left the bedroom door ajar
    I'm running out and I need for to lay my head down
    Can you turn the light out for me
    It doesn't matter who it is
    Don't answer the door
    They only wanna ask if I'm alright
    Can't say yes anymore
    But...
    If Christopher calls
    Wake me up and let me know
    If Christopher calls
    And if Christopher calls
    Tell him that I held out hope
    If Christopher calls
    She sat out on a garden chair
    Underneath the Tennessee sun
    With the wind in her hair
    She said I watched the birds for a while
    and they reminded me to smile
    But I knew that they'd fly before long
    Can you raise the moon up for me
    Doesn't matter who it is
    Don't pick up the phone
    They're only trying to keep me company
    And I need to be alone
    But...
    If Christopher calls
    Wake me up and let me know
    If Christopher calls
    And if Christopher calls
    Tell him that I held out hope
    If Christopher calls

    I was in jail, while my mom was dying of cancer. She passed before I got out. She loved to watch the birds. This song destroys me.

    For me - someone who struggles with depression - Christopher is the embodiment of 'hope'. "If HOPE calls, wake me up and let me know."

    This song dropped exactly in the middle of the love of my life and I taking time apart. Such a confusing and painful time for both of us. We are back at it together at this point but still working through so very much.
    Its never been or will be over a lack of love....my goodness....there is no shortage of that.
    This song just says it all so amazingly well. Its beautiful.
    His name is ...
    . Christopher.
    Yeah. Lol. Blew me away.

      THOUGH MR. VANCE HAS SET THIS AMAZING BACKDROP TO A UNIVERSAL UNDERSTANDING ……
      OF A UNREQUITED CAPITULATION,………
      AN EMOTIONAL WOUND LEFT UNBANDAGED ……
      NOT UNLIKE MY ONLY SON OF 25 YEARS…..
      REFUSING TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME……..
      BECAUSE I WARNED HIM OF THE DANGERS HIS RELIGIOUS CULT ARE INVOLVED IN….. NAMELY…
      CHILD SEX ABUSE…..
      HE REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE BY THE POLICE AND COURTS…. ON THE INTERNET….
      AND CLINGS TO THE SINISTER LEADERSHIP.
      4 YEARS LATER…. HE STILL CONSIDERS ME HIS ENEMY………
      HE IS A GOOD KID…. JUST CONFUSED….
      HE NEEDS….. PERHAPS
      MORE TIME…
      ……..” FOR TO FIGURE
      IT OUT “
      MEANWHILE LATELY,
      THEY ARE NOW ARRESTING THOSE INVOLVED IN THIS NATIONAL COVER UP.
      MAYBE…… ONE DAY….. IF HE CALLS ME…….TO APOLOGIZE…….
      SOMEONE WILL WAKE ME UP TO LET ME KNOW……
      UNTIL THEN
      I LEAVE THE BEDROOM DOOR AJAR…….
      ….. SO…. IF HE SHOULD KNOCK AT THE DOOR…
      …. I CAN TELL HIM…
      LO PERDONO, Y
      SIEMPRE HE
      MANTENIDO LA
      ESPERANZA….. AMEN
      ANYWAY…..WE ALL SHARE SIMILAR PAINS…..
      ANYWAY,
      YOU SHOULD BE A WRITER MR.MOLINO……

      I had this when I was really B12 deficient, I hope what is causing yours is also mendable. I just take a supplement now. It would be a good idea to see if you have any symptoms of vitamin deficiency.
