[Intro] (Whispering) Marissa, where are you? [Verse 1] Your last text said, “I’m good,” and that was two weeks back Now your read receipt sits there like a parked-out Cadillac I’m staring at your chat, thumb hovering over “call” Just tell me you’re alive, that’s all [Verse 2] I drove by that taco spot we used to hit on West End Half the booth was empty and I still thought I saw your friend Your name still pops up when my phone gets low and slow Like it knows you’re gone, but I don’t want it to know [Pre-Chorus] Every notification, every buzz and every chime Makes me think of you, losing track of space and time [Verse 3] If Texas got you busy, I’ll quit acting so loud I know new jobs, new streets, new people pull you into that crowd Still, every time the sun drops and the TV starts to hum I think, “Marissa would’ve picked up by now, come on” [Verse 4] Destiny probably says I’m extra, and yeah, she might be right I’m just not built for this quiet after midnight We had our little jokes, our stupid song, your same old grin Now I’m sending voice memos I don’t even send [Chorus] Marissa, if you can hear this, just send one word Something small, something plain, something I can hold I know Texas got a way of making days blur But I’m still here, still checking, still leaving the phone on hold [Hook] Marissa, pick up, say you’re on your way If Texas got you, tell it I can wait I got your name stuck in my phone all day Marissa, where you been? Marissa, where you stay? [Verse] Marissa, Marissa, where's my friend? She must have disappeared with her wife, Destiny, in Texas again How I miss those many nights Loving every moment and appreciating our friendship Wishing you weren't in Texas only because I'm selfish Because I'm telling you that I appreciate you And there's no replacing you And tell Destiny I said hi in Texas [Outro] Yeah, Texas... always Texas.
