The song's opening lines are, "I've been tryna call, I've been on my own for long enough." The Weeknd is expressing his loneliness and the desire to connect with someone. He continues, "Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe I'm going through withdrawals." The Weeknd is searching for someone to fill the void in his life, and he believes that the person he's singing to might be able to help him.
