[Intro — Female, Soft and Intimate] It's 2 AM... Your name lights up my room. I shouldn't answer... But you know I always do. [Verse 1 — Male Rap, Smooth and Melodic] Your picture's on my screen, but you're not in my life, We say we're doing good, then we talk through the night. You tell me he's asleep, I say she's next to me, Two strangers playing house, two hearts trying to leave. You know the little things I never tell my friends, The dreams I gave up on, the places where I bend. You hear the truth in me that nobody can see, But when the morning comes, you're just a memory. We got our own language, hidden underneath the noise, A thousand unsent messages, a thousand broken choices. You ask me, "What if we had met another time?" I type, "We'd be forever" — then I delete the line. [Pre-Chorus — Female Singing] And I don't wanna be your midnight If I can't be your morning sun. I'm tired of almost being someone, Tired of being no one's one. [Chorus — Female Lead, Male Harmonies] Do you love me after the blue light? When the screen goes dark and we're alone? Am I just a shadow in your real life, Or the only place that feels like home? If you want me, baby, say it clearly, Don't just hold me when the world can't see. I don't wanna be your almost, nearly... Tell me, would you choose me? Would you choose me? Would you choose me? [Verse 2 — Male Rap, More Emotional] I know your coffee order, the song that makes you cry, The way you fake a smile when you tell me you're alright. I know the name you whisper when you're scared to fall asleep, But I don't know the feeling of your hand inside of mine to keep. We built a little universe inside a phone, Where we could be ourselves, where we were not alone. But every time you say you wish that I was there, I feel the weight of every promise that we wear. I could blame the timing, blame the distance, blame the past, Say the world was in our way, say nothing good can last. But the truth is getting louder than the lies I tell myself: You can't call it fate forever when you're choosing someone else. [Pre-Chorus — Female Singing] And I don't wanna be your midnight If I can't be your morning sun. I'm tired of almost being someone, Tell me, are we scared or are we done? [Chorus — Female Lead, Male Harmonies] Do you love me after the blue light? When the screen goes dark and we're alone? Am I just a shadow in your real life, Or the only place that feels like home? If you want me, baby, say it clearly, Don't just hold me when the world can't see. I don't wanna be your almost, nearly... Tell me, would you choose me? Would you choose me? Would you choose me? [Verse 3 — Male Rap, Half-Sung, Vulnerable] Tonight you didn't text me, and the silence hit different, No little blue notification, no reason to keep wishing. I checked your last seen like it might tell me the truth, Funny how I know your habits, but I never really knew you. Maybe we're addicted to the feeling of escape, To the perfect little story that we never have to face. Maybe loving you is easy when there's nothing we can lose, But the hardest kind of honesty is having something left to choose. So if I knock upon your door, will you open it for real? Will we still be who we are when there's no screen to hide behind? I don't need another secret, I don't need another sign... I need to know if you're still yours, And if you'll ever choose to be mine. [Bridge — Female Singing, Emotional Build] Don't tell me that you need me If you only need the night. Don't tell me that you see me If you keep me out of sight. I could love you in a thousand ways, But I can't live between the lines. If we're only brave behind a screen, Maybe we're just killing time. [Breakdown — Male and Female Call and Response] [Male] What if I leave everything tonight? [Female] Would you still want me in the morning light? [Male] What if we find out we're not the same? [Female] What if we lose more by staying the same? [Male] Tell me the truth, don't give me a sign. [Female] I'll give you my truth if you give me your time. [Both — Soft Harmony] No more hiding behind the blue light... [Final Chorus — Female Lead, Male Harmonies, Bigger Production] Do you love me after the blue light? When there's nowhere left for us to hide? Am I just a shadow in your real life, Or the one you'd stand beside? If you want me, baby, say it clearly, I can't keep pretending this is free. I don't wanna be your almost, nearly... I need you to choose me. Would you choose me? Would you choose me? [Female Ad-libs] Not just tonight... Not just in secret... If you really love me... I need to feel it... [Outro — Male, Quiet and Intimate] Your name lights up my room... I turn the screen face down. For the first time... I let the silence answer. [end]
