[Intro — quick hook] Out of power, no signal again Got a date tonight, can’t miss it… [Verse 1] Phone died on the bus, what a perfect start Charger on the table, right back where I parked City lights buzzing like they’re in on the joke I’m pacing down the pavement, trying not to choke [Pre-Chorus] If I could send one line, Just hold on, I’m on my way But the battery’s flat And the clock won’t wait [Chorus] ’Cause I can’t miss tonight I’ve been counting down the hours And you’re probably watching your phone Wondering if I’m gonna show Yeah I’m running through the night No connection, no more power But I’m still gonna make it right I can’t miss tonight [Verse 2] Asking every café, “hey, got a spare plug?” They shake their heads slowly—yeah, this is my luck Heartbeat racing like a kick drum in my chest I rehearse what I’ll tell you, wanna make the best impression [Pre-Chorus] If I could send one line, Just wait up, don’t close the door But I’m stuck offline And I need you more [Chorus] ’Cause I can’t miss tonight I’ve been counting down the hours And you’re probably watching your phone Wondering if I’m gonna show Yeah I’m running through the night No connection, no more power But I’m still gonna make it right I can’t miss tonight [Bridge — big lift] No bars, no charge But my feet keep moving Streetlights flicker Like they’re pushing me through it If I make it to you Before the clock strikes nine Promise you this won’t happen next time [Final Chorus — explode] ’Cause I can’t miss tonight I can see your face in my mind And I won’t let a dead phone stop me From getting where I wanna be Yeah I’m racing through the night Out of power, but full of fire Baby just don’t say goodnight I can’t miss tonight
