This song, released in October 2015, marks Adele's return to music after a three-year hiatus after suffering from "writer's block".

Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal yah, but I ain't done much healing

Hello, can you hear me?
I'm in California dreaming of who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

There's such a difference between us
And a million miles

Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?

It's no secret that the both of us
Are running out of time

So hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart
Anymore, ooooohh
Anymore, ooooohh
Anymore, ooooohh
Anymore, anymore

Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

TO GO OVER= To talk about, to analyze.

YAH= (coll.) You.

AIN'T= (slang) Haven't.

IT DON'T= (coll.) It doesn't.

MATTER= It doesn't matter = it's not important.

TEAR YOU APART= Make you suffer a lot.

MAKE IT OUT OF...= Managed to move away from...

ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME= If you are running out of something, you have almost used it all and very soon you will have no more of it.

The song focuses on themes of nostalgia and regret and plays out like a conversation with one or more relationships of her past. "I felt all of us were moving on, and it’s not about an ex-relationship, a love relationship, it's about my relationship with everyone that I love. It's not that we have fallen out, we've all got our lives going on and I needed to write that song so they would all hear it, because I'm not in touch with them.
