[Intro – nervous breathing] four a.m my screen is bright I’ve rewritten this ten times tonight [Verse 1] sweaty palms and a throat gone dry thinking of reasons she’d never reply my buddy says styles, just hit send, you'll be fine but he's not the one putting his heart on the line [Pre-Chorus] staring at the photo where she’s smiling so kind reassuring myself theres no catfishing tonight [Chorus] but it's not her friends, it's not the scare not the words that I'm trying to clear you drop a line into the dark and the dark pulls back two minutes waiting for three dots to grow Rlreminding you how much you don't want to know most people fear the leap cause they know they'll crash here [Verse 2 –] Hours of staring, then my thumb slips down sent the text by mistake, now I'm wishing I'd drown up comes a bubble, then it fades right out leaving me floating in a sea of doubt [Pre-Chorus] now I'm pacing the floor, now I'm gripping my hair and I'm wishing I could vanish into thin air [Chorus] but it's not her friends, it's not the scare not the words that I'm trying to clear you drop a line into the dark and the dark pulls back two minutes waiting for three dots to grow reminding you how much you don't want to know most people fear the leap cause they know they'll crash here [Bridge – lonely] Watch me freeze in open air Overthinking a smile that was never there Tell me why I even care Tell me why I even dare [final chorus – desperate build-up] but it's not her friends, it's not the scare Not the words that I'm trying to clear you drop a line into the dark and the dark pulls back two minutes waiting for three dots to grow reminding you how much you don't want to know Most people fear the leap cause they know they'll crash here And I always do [Outro – deep sigh] four a.m., my screen goes black [Fade out]
