I SAY IT’S MINE [Intro] Face down. Screen dark. One second. [Verse 1] I came to check the weather, One message turned to ten. The kettle clicked behind me; I didn’t hear it then. I carried it to the table, I carried it upstairs. I left it facedown on the dresser, Still felt it watching there. [Pre-Chorus] One small pulse beneath the glass, The whole room turns its head. I say, “Just a second,” to the dark; The dark knows what I said. [Chorus] I say it’s mine, I say it’s mine. It gets the first look every time. I set it down; the room stays still. My hand goes back against my will. I say it’s mine, I say it’s mine. It keeps my face, it keeps my time. I turn the screen to black, to black— It lights once and it pulls me back. [Verse 2] You stopped halfway through a sentence. I nodded at the glow. By the time I turned to face you, You said, “Nothing. Let it go.” I carry it to bed with me, Its light against my chest. I check until my eyes won’t focus, Then once more before I rest. [Pre-Chorus] One small pulse beneath the glass, The whole room turns its head. I say, “Just a second,” to the dark; The dark knows what I said. [Chorus] I say it’s mine, I say it’s mine. It gets the first look every time. I set it down; the room stays still. My hand goes back against my will. I say it’s mine, I say it’s mine. It keeps my face, it keeps my time. I turn the screen to black, to black— It lights once and it pulls me back. [Bridge] I left it charging down the hall, Beyond the bedroom door. I woke up with my hand stretched out, Reaching across the floor. No buzz, no flash, no borrowed voice— Just fingers closing on the air. I blamed the dark. I blamed the dream. Then plugged it in beside my chair. [Final Chorus] I say it’s mine, I say it’s mine. It gets the first look every time. I set it down; the room stays still. My hand goes back against my will. I say it’s mine, I say it’s mine. It keeps my face, it keeps my time. I turn the screen to black, to black— It lights once and it pulls me back. [Outro] Face down. Screen dark. One second.
