[Verse 1] My phone won't quit Your name and theirs A hundred little pings And no one there I smile at text Then stare at air Surrounded by words Still nobody near [Pre-Chorus] I keep the plans I keep the pace Late-night checkmarks Same empty space At twenty-four I learned this truth Some rooms are crowded Still missing you [Chorus] Read the thread Read the thread Still alone in the room Read the thread Read the thread But nobody comes through I want a hand Not just a screen Read the thread Read the thread You know what I mean [Verse 2] At twenty-five I'm trying hard Coffee with names And cards in cards I show up clean I stay too long Talk about work Pretend I'm strong [Pre-Chorus] They say "let's do lunch" Then fade by dawn Calendars fill Then the months move on I keep the faith I keep the door But close friends feel Like they need more [Chorus] Read the thread Read the thread Still alone in the room Read the thread Read the thread But nobody comes through I want a hand Not just a screen Read the thread Read the thread You know what I mean [Bridge] Maybe I'm not behind Maybe I'm just becoming Maybe time ain't mine to waste If I stop running Say my name Stay a while Let the silence settle Let it crack a smile [Final Chorus] Read the thread Read the thread Still alone in the room Read the thread Read the thread But somebody comes through One real call One real thing Read the thread Read the thread And let it mean something
