I wake up every day with the phone in my hand
Swiping notifications like I'm stuck in quicksand
Your face is right here but I can't meet your eyes
Trapped in my own feed full of highlights and lies
The table is set but I'm locked on the text
No real conversation I'm lost in what's next
The room's full of people yet I stand alone
Mesmerized by the glow of this handheld throne
Screens turned up high hearts turned down low
We chase every comment every like every show
Traded our warmth for a battery life
Plugged in but disconnected in digital strife
Dinner goes cold while I scroll for the news
Ignoring your laughter I'm caught in a ruse
Earbuds in place I'm missing your tune
Eyes on the screen as the night meets the moon
We used to talk face-to-face 'til dawn
Now the hours slip by that closeness is gone
If we put our phones down and look up for a while
We might remember the warmth of a smile
Screens turned up high hearts turned down low
We chase every comment every like every show
We forgot how to laugh how to hold how to share
But I'm tired of this void time to breathe real air
The phone might still glow but now I can see
Your voice is the tune that truly sets me free
Unplugging from plastic illusions and pain
So we can be real let our hearts beat again
