[live concert crowd cheering] sing along if you know it [Verse 1] She’s sitting shotgun with her window down, But she ain’t looking at the little town. She’s got her camera pointed at the sky, Trying to make a sunset fit just right. He’s at the ballgame, seventh inning tied, But he’s scrolling through somebody else’s life. Everybody’s got a story to share, But nobody’s seeing who’s standing there. [Pre-Chorus] We’re chasing hearts from people we don’t know, While the ones who love us watch us let ’em go. [Chorus] Put the phone down, look me in the eyes, Let’s watch this sunset with our own two eyes. No filter, no caption, no “like” to chase, Just a little dirt road and a little real space. We only got one life, and it’s happening now, So turn that screen off and look around. Before the best moments pass us by, Put the phone down, baby, live your life. [Verse 2] Mama’s cooking Sunday dinner at the house, Everybody’s there, but nobody’s talking now. Grandpa’s got a story that he’s told a thousand times, But everybody’s busy staring at a timeline. Little girl’s growing up right before our eyes, While we’re busy counting somebody else’s likes. We’re taking pictures of the things we do, But missing out on actually doing them too. [Pre-Chorus] We’re connected to the whole world somehow, But sometimes can’t connect to the ones beside us now. [Chorus] Put the phone down, look me in the eyes, Let’s watch this sunset with our own two eyes. No filter, no caption, no “like” to chase, Just a little dirt road and a little real space. We only got one life, and it’s happening now, So turn that screen off and look around. Before the best moments pass us by, Put the phone down, baby, live your life. [Bridge] Let the notifications wait till tomorrow, Trade that blue light for a sky full of stars. Call up your friends, throw a fire in the backyard, Laugh till midnight and forget where you are. ’Cause someday we’ll wish we could go back, To the nights we didn’t photograph. [Final Chorus] Put the phone down, look me in the eyes, Let’s watch this sunset with our own two eyes. No filter, no caption, no “like” to chase, Just a little country road and a little real space. We only got one life, and it’s happening now, So turn that screen off and look around. Let the whole damn world keep scrolling by, We’re gonna live this moment while it’s still alive. [Outro] Yeah, let ’em keep scrolling… We got somewhere better to be. Put the phone down— And come live life with me.
