It was released as a single on 11 august 2013, together with an accompanying music.
The repeated question, why'd you only call me when you're high? serves as a poignant reminder of the superficiality of their interactions
It suggests a longing for deeper connection, as the narrator grapples with feelings of being used or taken for granted As the song progresses, the narrator's internal conflict becomes more pronounced. The mirror's image tells me it's home time but i'm not finished 'cause you're not by my side and as i arrived i thought i saw you leaving carrying your shoes decided that once again i was just dreaming of bumping into you now it's three in the morning and i'm trying to change your mind left you multiple missed calls and to my message you reply why'd you only call me when you're high
