The lyrics

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
