Still Connected | First Line Defense

[Verse 1] She leaves her keys on the counter Says she’ll be back by ten I hear the door, the soft click Smell her perfume again Phone lights up with a name I don’t open it I just set it face-down And pour another drink [Pre-chorus] I know the shape of the story I’ve seen every version before Doesn’t stop the room from spinning When she walks back through the door [Chorus] I see through it I still take the call I see through it And I don’t care at all Keep the connection Keep the weight on my chest I see through it And I still say yes [Verse 2] News crawls across the screen Same faces, different lies I mute the sound, look away Watch the streetlights outside Boss shakes my hand in the hallway Says the numbers look fine I nod, close the laptop Leave the extra hours behind [Pre-chorus] I know the game they’re playing I’ve watched the pieces move Doesn’t change the fact I’m standing In a room I still choose [Chorus] I see through it I still take the call I see through it And I don’t care at all Keep the connection Keep the weight on my chest I see through it And I still say yes [Bridge] Friends at the table laughing Same jokes, same old scars I know which ones are real And which ones are just for show Doesn’t matter I stay in the chair Feel the glass in my hand Feel the night air [Final Chorus] I see through it I still take the call I see through it And I don’t care at all Keep the connection Keep the weight on my chest I see through it And I still say yes I see through it (Still connected) I see through it (Still connected)
