Group chat used to wake me up Twenty idiots talking shit Now it's birthdays, thumbs-up reactions "Yeah man, we gotta link" Nobody does Names still saved in my phone Some I haven't heard in months I scroll past one Scroll back up Start typing "You awake?" Delete it Don't be that guy Everybody's got their own shit now Back then nobody had to ask You could see it in their face Now we say "I'm good" so damn well It almost sounds that way Last seen sometime after midnight Same green dot, different life I keep staring at the little screen Like somebody might read my mind We said we'd never lose each other Funny what a couple years can do I've got a hundred names I could call And somehow Nobody to talk to Two in the morning, kitchen light Cold coffee from yesterday Old picture comes up in my memories Everybody skinny, sunburned, insane I actually laugh Then I zoom in on the faces Wonder who's sleeping Who's drinking Who's staring at a ceiling too Don't call What are you gonna say? "Hey man remember when we all lost our minds?" Yeah That'll go over great They moved on Maybe they're trying to Same thing No, it isn't Last seen sometime after midnight Same green dot, different life I keep staring at the little screen Like somebody might read my mind We said we'd never lose each other Funny what a couple years can do I've got a hundred names I could call And somehow Nobody to talk to DON'T SEND IT DELETE THE LINE THEY'VE GOT KIDS THEY'VE GOT JOBS THEY'RE DOING FINE DON'T BE THE REASON THE PHONE LIGHTS UP DON'T DRAG THEM BACK JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE STUCK THEY GOT OUT YOU DIDN'T Then three dots show up Disappear Show up again "Bro, you still awake?" I stare at it Way too long Type "yeah" Erase it Type it again Send Last seen sometime after midnight Two green dots against the dark No big speech No fixing anything Just "what's up?" and "not much" We don't talk about where our heads went We don't have to name the truth For twenty minutes I'm not the only one awake Don't tell him too much I tell him enough "Call me tomorrow?" "Yeah, man." "Alright." "Later."
