Intro
Your name lights up
Then disappears
Like you were almost here
Verse 1
Your coffee cup is by the sink
I moved it twice, then stopped to think
There's still a jacket on my chair
Like some part of you is living there
I see you online after two
I wonder who you're talking to
I type your name, erase the line
Then tell myself I'm doing fine
Pre-Chorus
We know when each other's awake
We know every move that we make
But somehow every word that matters
Gets lost before it leaves the screen
Chorus
We're always online
But I can't reach you anymore
I watch those three dots disappear
Like every time before
We know everything
Except what we're afraid to say
Maybe you and I need to go offline
Before we fade away
Post-Chorus
Offline
Before we fade away
Verse 2
I know the songs you played last night
I saw the picture that you liked
I know exactly where you've been
But I don't know what you're feeling
I know the hour you read my words
I know you saw them, nothing heard
We've got a thousand ways to speak
And somehow silence lasts for weeks
Pre-Chorus
Maybe knowing everything
Isn't knowing us at all
Maybe all these little signals
Only help us build the wall
Chorus
We're always online
But I can't reach you anymore
I watch those three dots disappear
Like every time before
We know everything
Except what we're afraid to say
Maybe you and I need to go offline
Before we fade away
Bridge
Put the phone down
Look at me
No blue lights
No history
No last-seen time
No typing sign
Just tell me if there's something left
Of you and me tonight
Final Chorus
We're always online
But tonight I need you here
No glowing screen between our hands
No hiding from the fear
Forget everything
Except the words we need to say
Maybe you and I can go offline
And find another way
Another way
Before we fade
Before we fade away
Outro
Your name lights up
I turn the screen away
Offline.
