Living Through Glass [Verse 1] I wake up to a window that never shows the sky A thousand little voices telling me what’s passing by I work inside a room, but I’m somewhere else instead I know the names of people I’ve never really met They send me what I need, I never leave the street I order my dinner and it’s waiting at my feet We talk across the distance, we type instead of speak And somehow all this connection leaves us feeling weak [Pre-Chorus] We built a world without a door But what are we really looking for? [Chorus] We're living through glass Watching the world go past Touching everybody But never feeling anyone We're closer than we've ever been And somehow we're still alone We're living through glass Trying to find our way back home [Verse 2] We choose a face from photographs, a life from little words We measure love in messages and silence when it hurts A green light says you're there, but I don't know where you are You can be sitting next to me and still be miles apart The screen knows what I want before I even say my name The algorithm knows my habits, but it doesn't know my pain Everything is instant, everything is on demand But give me someone's eyes to look into Give me someone's hand [Pre-Chorus] We made the distance disappear But somehow brought the loneliness near [Chorus] We're living through glass Watching the world go past Touching everybody But never feeling anyone We're closer than we've ever been And somehow we're still alone We're living through glass Trying to find our way back home [Bridge] Turn it off Let the silence fall No notifications No one calling No little blue light Telling me I'm seen Just a human heart And another human being Maybe we forgot What real life feels like Maybe we need to lose the screen To remember how to look someone in the eye [Final Chorus] We're living through glass Watching the world go past Touching everybody But never feeling anyone We're closer than we've ever been And somehow we're still alone We're living through glass Trying to find our way back home [Outro] So put your phone down Come sit beside me No need to say a word Just stay here awhile I want to feel the world again Not through a screen Not through glass Just here Just now Just you and me
