[Intro] [Soft Synths] [Tape Hiss] Everybody's talking. Nobody's here. [Verse 1] I remember knowing every neighbor's name Now I know your profile picture better than your face You live three houses down I only see you glowing blue We're all online together Just never in the same room The silence got expensive Attention came for free Somewhere in the middle We traded "us" For "seen." [Pre Chorus] Every voice Inside one endless hallway Every heart Behind another screen [Chorus] We're one big chat now Typing into outer space Everybody's somewhere Nobody's in one place I know what you had for dinner I don't know how you've been We're connected to the whole world Disconnected from our friends We're one big chat now Always online Always alone [Instrumental] [Analog Lead] [Saxophone Solo] [Verse 2] Every birthday gets remembered By an app that sends alarms Every tragedy gets measured By reaction hearts and thumbs The photographs keep multiplying While the memories disappear Everybody left receipts Nobody left here [Build] Maybe nothing actually happened Maybe this is how it goes Maybe we just slowly stopped Knocking on each other's doors [Huge Chorus] We're one big chat now Floating through algorithmic skies Thousands of conversations Never looking in our eyes You can tell me every secret Without hearing how I laugh You know everything about me Except the person that I am We're one big chat now One endless room Full of empty chairs [Bridge] [Vocoder] If the power ever failed tonight Would we know whose house to walk toward? Would we remember Who made dinner Who borrowed tools Who cried quietly Who always left the porch light on? Or would we just... Wait for the signal to come back? [Final Chorus] We're one big chat now Everybody gets a voice Everybody gets an audience Nobody gets a choice I miss conversations That disappeared with daylight Before every lonely moment Found a Wi Fi password We're one big chat now Still searching For somebody To knock on the door [Outro] [Soft Synth] [Tape Flutter] Everybody's talking. Nobody's here. ... [Fade Out]
