[Intro] [Verse 1] A friend of a friend pulled me out of the gray Said, "Pack up your bags, man, we're going away!" Dragged me to college to figure it out Traded the anger for a cap and a gown Reading the maps and tracing the seas Yeah, I finally earned my Geography degree! I could point out the cities, the mountains and stone But I was still walking the campus alone... [Pre-Chorus 1] I mapped out the world, every river and street But I couldn't find anyone I wanted to meet! [Chorus] I tried the loud bars and the neon lights! Swiping the mainstream, hitting the clubs Wasted my time on the Saturday nights! Paying the price for the dating hub rubs! I tried every platform, the big and the small But I was just screaming at a digital wall! Yeah, searching for something I couldn't find Losing my patience and losing my mind! [Verse 2] Months turning over, the routine was dead Just a glowing bright screen at the foot of my bed The standard connections all felt like a joke Just superficial mirrors and vanishing smoke I wanted the curves, I wanted the real Something to hold and something to feel But the algorithms kept pushing me down The loneliest guy in this college town! [Pre-Chorus 2] Got the grades in my pocket, my head in a book But nobody gave me a second look! [Chorus] I tried the loud bars and the neon lights! Swiping the mainstream, hitting the clubs Wasted my time on the Saturday nights! Paying the price for the dating hub rubs! I tried every platform, the big and the small But I was just screaming at a digital wall! Yeah, searching for something I couldn't find Losing my patience and losing my mind! [Bridge / The Setup] Late at night... staring at the glow... Nowhere left to turn, nowhere left to go. Found a weird little link hidden in the dirt Looking like a scam, looking like it hurt. "BBW Meet", glowing on the screen... The cheapest layout that I'd ever seen. [Chorus] I tried the loud bars and the neon lights! Swiping the mainstream, hitting the clubs Wasted my time on the Saturday nights! Paying the price for the dating hub rubs! I tried every platform, the big and the small But I was just screaming at a digital wall! Yeah, searching for something I couldn't find Losing my patience and losing my mind! [Outro / The Cliffhanger] I figured it was fake... Just a waste of time... No conviction left... Not a single dime. I held my breath... And I hit submit.
