[Verse 1] 2 AM, the screen lighting up the dark Through my earphones, the soft turn of your page I'm tracing the rhythm of every flip Searching for the next topic to throw your way But it only makes me more aware Of how loud I am in the quiet [Pre-Chorus] You answer so easily, flowing just like water Slipping right into the gaps of our conversation But my words are like jagged wooden blocks I line them up in my head And still send them out wrong [Chorus] "You know..." It comes out smaller than I meant, hanging in the air Before the silence is eaten by the ticking clock I don’t wanna hide inside safe small talk I wanna say something that actually shakes you But when the air gets heavy I’m always the one who pulls back first [Bridge] You laugh a little And I know it wasn’t because of me This careful space between our voices Like we’re both afraid to move an inch I’m so tired of pretending I don't want more I just want to reach across and close it [Final Chorus] I’m done blaming bad connections Done acting like I didn’t mean it I’m trying to match my breathing to yours If it gets awkward, let it. If it gets messy, fine. Before the sun comes up and this call ends I need you to know— I’m not calm about you [Outro] Don’t hang up yet. Can you hear me now?
