Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Sleep ‘til noon on a Tuesday Missed calls on a cracked flip phone Burned discs stacked on the carpet Names in Sharpie All in a row Long walks home after practice Backpacks stained with the summer rain Didn’t care what the world was saying Didn’t care We just knew your name [Chorus] I’m lost before the screens Back when nothing had to mean Anything but being there Stupid jokes and tangled hair I’m chasing things I can’t rewind Old cartoons and borrowed time The world before the endless feed I’m lost before the screens [Verse 2] Cheap cologne in your basement Band tees hung from a bedroom door Half-truths scribbled in yearbooks “Keep in touch ” but we never swore Parents talking in headlines Now the headlines talk for them Back then silence felt like breathing Now it’s loud in my head again [Chorus] I’m lost before the screens Back when nothing had to mean Anything but being there Stupid jokes and tangled hair I’m chasing things I can’t rewind Old cartoons and borrowed time The world before the endless feed I’m lost before the screens [Bridge] Do you remember Waiting all week just to hear one song? Do you remember Thinking this year couldn’t last too long? Now I scroll through faded faces Same old names in different places Every memory feels rehearsed Like we lived it in reverse (oh) [Chorus] I’m lost before the screens Back when nothing had to mean Anything but being there Stupid jokes and tangled hair I’m chasing things I can’t rewind Old cartoons and borrowed time The world before the endless feed I’m lost before the screens Yeah I’m lost before the screens

rock, Slow, roomy early-2000s pop-punk ballad; clean palm-muted guitars and warm bass in the verses, kick on the quarters, tammy snare; choruses rise with wide distorted power chords, gang vocals on the hook, and a soaring male vocal. Bridge strips to voice and guitar before a final full-band chant-outro that feels like a crowd singing along in a small venue., world, nostalgic, ballad, pop punk, slow, sad
