Sunlight hits the carpet I’m counting tiles
It’s been an hour maybe six maybe miles
Between the cursor blinking in the frame
And the way I’m nervous just to type your name
I’m curating the silence holding my breath
Checking if the battery is gonna be the death
Of this quiet conversation that’s only in my head
Should I leave it on read Or just leave it unsaid
The air in my room is getting kinda thin
Tracing the shadow of where you’ve been
It’s a glitch in the logic a fray in the seam
Waking up slowly from a mid-afternoon dream
Static in the signal ping-pong in my chest!
I’m failing every single little social test!
Pulse is skipping rhythm I’m losing the track!
Waiting for a phantom waiting for you to come back!
Oh the static in the signal buzzing in my ear!
Making all the mountains out of atmosphere!
Just a ping just a ping make it ring make it clear!
I’m right here I’m right here!
Your profile picture is a landscape of blur
I’m analyzing colors wondering what they were
Did you take it at twilight Or was it the dawn
I’m studying the pixels while the minutes are drawn
Out into hours I’m pacing the floor
Tracing the lock on my bedroom door
It’s not really longing it’s just the suspense
Of a digital fence that makes so little sense
Buffer refresh
The screen is a mirror of all of the stress
Buffer refresh
Are you gonna answer Or leave me I guess
It’s a delicate tangled beautiful mess
Static in the signal ping-pong in my chest!
I’m failing every single little social test!
Pulse is skipping rhythm I’m losing the track!
Waiting for a phantom waiting for you to come back!
Oh the static in the signal buzzing in my ear!
Making all the mountains out of atmosphere!
Just a ping just a ping make it ring make it clear!
I’m right here I’m right here!
