Payphone - Maroon5 feat Wiz Khalifa

From the 2012 Album, Overexposed







Everybody had this moment - when you’re dying to hear your ex’s voice. It’s not unanswered, neither a miss call. It’s when you call someone and didn’t make it to utter not a single word. While seeking the what for of your action, an instant flash back came to your head. Payphone because you don’t want them to know your identity.

It’s just sad to see that everything you believe is dead and all seems like an illusion that haunts you. That voice might become the validation of your unrequited love. It might sound desperate but for a person seeking for the big fat WHY, this is the sanest thing to do.

Damn that wasted chance, one last shot – which unfortunately missed! Where did our forever gone? “But even the sun sets in paradise” And yes, all good things came to an end.

Maybe work it out? Give it a try as it may possibly work out this time around because it takes grown ups for   a relationship to mature. After all, relationship is not just about love. It’s also about sticking together despite. And finally becoming that person nobody wants to break up with.


About the Band
Maroon5 is one of the most successful band of this generation. Their first band name is Kara's flower. Despite the break from the band of their keyboardist: Jesse Carmichael, the band still pursue their fourth album - Overexposed. Yet another record that will take the avid listeners by storm!


About the Music
A pop rock tune track. Easy on the ear and radio friendly. It keeps ahead on the flow of our current music scene. The collaboration with Wiz Khalifa is not as great as what I expected. He’s part is a bit blunt. But if he happens to conjugate his rapping style, the whole outcome of the song will be totally different in a discomfited way. Still, props for the both artist! J




Here's the music video
-a comic-lyrical type and i must say one of the most creative video I've seen.


And the lyrics,

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
The people we used to be
It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me
You say it's too late to make it
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more f*cking love song I'll be sick

You turned your back on tomorrow
Cause you forgot yesterday
I gave you my love to borrow
But just gave it away
You can't expect me to be fine
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before
But all of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stucked in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more stupid love song I'll be sick

Now I'm at a payphone...

[Wiz Khalifa]
Man fuck that sh*t
I'll be out spending all this money while you sitting round
Wondering why it wasn't you who came up from nothing
Made it from the bottom
Now when you see me I'm stunning
And all of my cars start with the push up a button
Telling me the chances I blew up or whatever you call it
Switched the number to my phone
So you never could call it
Don't need my name on my show
You can tell it I'm ballin'
Swish, what a shame could have got picked
Had a really good game but you missed your last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or what you could've saw
But sad to say it's over for
Phantom pulled up valet open doors
Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for
Now ask me who they want
So you can go and take that little piece of sh*t with you

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more stupid love song I'll be sick

Now I'm at a payphone...
