[Intro]
Scroll
Scroll
Glow in the dark room
Heart in a hard case
Face in a glass tomb

[Verse 1]
You were laughing in the kitchen
Bare feet on cold tile
Hair tied
Undone
Now you’re little looping seconds
To strangers with their volume turned up
Just for fun
You said
“Save this for our stories”
I thought you meant the ones we’d tell when we were old
Now the feed eats every moment
And every secret that we post gets sold

[Pre-Chorus]
How did love turn into angles?
Every angle just a mask we wear (oh)
How did truth turn into language
Written for a screen that doesn’t care?

[Chorus]
I’m losing you in the likes and the lies
In a thousand tiny flashing alibis
We’re talking in captions
Never in eyes
Baby this timeline’s on fire
I’m losing you in the noise and the views
In a world that keeps on choosing the feud
We’re strangers standing inches from the truth
And I’m losing you
I’m losing you (yeah)

[Verse 2]
We don’t argue face to face now
We just type it where the crowd can see the show
Private pain
Public performance
Hit “send” before the tears have time to flow
We keep reaching for attention
Like it’s water but it leaves our voices dry
Every filter
Every mention
Makes it harder just to look up at the sky

[Pre-Chorus]
How did love turn into angles?
Every angle just a mask we wear (hey)
How did touch turn into symbols
We can edit when the cost is hard to bear?

[Bridge]
[Beat drops to piano and flute]
Let me power this down
Let your heartbeat be the only sound (only sound)
Let me read your face
Not a status you can cut and paste (oh)
I want your laugh in the air
Not compressed into a clip to share
I want your hand in my hand
Not a highlight for another broken fan

[Build]
[Drums swell
Choir pads rise]
This generation loves a secret
Till it’s thrown into the crowd like meat
We are feeding all our feelings
To a mirror that will never eat
Pull me back from this projection
From the circus of confession
Can we trade this weak connection
For the danger of affection? (yeah)

[Chorus epic vocals]
Bring me back from the likes and the lies
Let me drown inside your unedited eyes
Turn the volume of the world down
Let it die
Baby this timeline’s on fire
If I lose you
I’m losing my proof
That there’s something here that’s deeper than youth
So I’m reaching through this digital roof
’Cause I’m losing you
I’m losing you
(I’m losing you)

[Verse 3 High-energy Live concert]
We flip through feeds
Doomscroll breakfast
Arguing with ghosts
Talking past tense

But your grandma’s hands
Still planting gardens
Your neighbor fixed
That busted apartment fan

[Chorus]
Solutions to the world’s struggles
Live in our back pockets
In the quiet favors
Tiny labors
Nobody ever documents
We keep on searching skyward
Writing speeches
Signing slogans
But it’s holding doors and staying curious
That keeps this thing from closing

[Verse 4 FreshAir Soul]
You tutor math
After long shifts
She drops off soup
When your mood dips

No headline runs
For those small wins
But that’s the glue
Between the fractures in our skin

[Bridge]
What if the fix
Isn’t famous
Just learn a name
Where you feel aimless (hey)

Share an umbrella
Share your language
A little less fear
In how we manage

[Chorus]
Solutions to the world’s struggles
Live in our back pockets
In the quiet favors
Tiny labors
Nobody ever documents
We keep on searching skyward
Like there’s magic in the distance
But it’s face to face and day by day
We build a better system (oh yeah)
