๐ Lyrics
She's always scrolling down, down, down
Through texts on her screen
I wish she'd notice me somehow
Beyond her favorite feed
But every time I try to speak
She's lost in endless streams
I wonder if she'd ever see
What's right in front of me
Then she says"Sorry, I was checking notifications"
But I know
There's more to life than validation
Every like won't make it right, right, right
You're living through a screen tonight
I wish you'd let your phone die, die, die
And see what's real, what's alive
Your eyes reflect the blue light glow
While mine just watch you fade
I wrote a message long ago
Still sitting there unsent, afraid
You curate every moment now
But miss the ones that matter
I'd give anything somehow
To break this hell of a pattern
Then you sigh"Just one more minute, I'll be done soon"
But I know
Tomorrow brings the same old tune
Every like won't make it right, right, right
You're living through a screen tonight
I wish you'd let your phone die, die, die
And see what's real, what's alive
Look up, look up
The world's still turning here
Your life's not measured in
The followers you keep, my dear
There's beauty in the way
The sunlight hits your face
But you might miss it all
While chasing virtual space
Every like won't make it right, right, right
You're living through a screen tonight
I wish you'd let your phone die, die, die
And see what's real, what's alive
Every post, every share (Like!)
Won't fill the empty air
I know there's something more (Repost!)
Than what you're searching for
Every post, every share (Like!)
Won't fill the empty air
I know there's something more (Repost!)
Than what you're searching for
Than what you're searching for
Than what you're searching for
Than what you're searching for
Than what you're searching for

I wish she'd notice me somehow

But every time I try to speak
She's lost in endless streams
I wonder if she'd ever see

Every like won't make it right, right, right
