(Verse 1) From scrolling through bios, a profile popped up, You mentioned a poodle and a cracked espresso cup. You sat at the counter at "Joe’s on Third," checked every phone for a witty word, I saw you, I missed you, it’s totally absurd. I posted a "Wanted," a desperate plea, "To the guy in the blazer who looked like a young Bruce Lee." (Chorus) Found you on screen now, lost out in the crowd! The signal was shaky, the silence was loud. From a blurry-eyed photo, a digital glow, To a real-life direction where both of us want to go. Found you on screen now, where the pixels are bright, We’re chasing down the feeling of a spark in the middle night. (Verse 2) Thursday and Friday I refreshed the "Missing" page, I felt like a tiger that was stuck inside a cage. Suddenly a comment appeared on the "Uptown" thread, You said you’d been hoping I’d notice the book you read. We joked about algorithms, no need to be a snob, Just two lonely nerds with a boring-as-nothing job. You mentioned you saw me—the way that I tripped on the rug beside the door, Wi-Fi was magic, not a total local bore, Syncing our stories and asking for a little more. (Chorus) Found you on screen now, lost out in the crowd! The signal was shaky, the silence was loud. From a blurry-eyed photo, a digital glow, To a real-life direction where both of us want to go. Found you on screen now, where the pixels are bright, We’re chasing down the feeling of a spark in the middle night. (Bridge) From the ghosting status, a middle-of-nowhere dread, To the "typing..." icon that danced in my tired head. A booth in the corner where the happy hour stars reside, The nachos and jukebox, the butterflies deep inside. We skipped all the small talk, we pushed through the daze, We chased the connection through the internet’s messy maze. It was three nights of clicking, a circuit complete, Now the best part is coming: when the two of us finally meet. (Chorus) Found you on screen now, lost out in the crowd! The signal was shaky, the silence was loud. From a blurry-eyed photo, a digital glow, To a real-life direction where both of us want to go. Found you on screen now, where the pixels are bright, We’re chasing down the feeling of a spark in the middle night. (Outro) The refresh is over, the message is clear, Safe in the moment, I’m glad that you’re finally here. Put down the smartphone... and tell me everything. I finally found you! I found you.
