Verse 1
Phone glow lighting up my room
City quiet after two
Your name floating in the blue
Like the night belongs to you
Every story that you post
Little fragments, little ghosts
I keep watching from the coast
Of a life I wanted most
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Typing something, then erase
Leave my feelings in the space
Between the dots that never stay
⸻
Chorus
Seen at 2:17 AM
But you never say my name
I’m just another quiet view
Drifting through your midnight frame
Heartbeats hiding in the chat
Every word I take it back
You don’t know I’m here again
Just a ghost inside your 2:17 AM
⸻
Verse 2
Every picture, every laugh
I pretend it’s in the past
But the algorithm knows
Every place my heart still goes
You’re dancing in a neon bar
I’m at home counting the stars
Watching stories from afar
Like a movie with no part
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Almost sent a little flame
Then I closed the app again
Let the silence say my name
⸻
Chorus
Seen at 2:17 AM
But you never say my name
I’m just another quiet view
Drifting through your midnight frame
Heartbeats hiding in the chat
Every word I take it back
You don’t know I’m here again
Just a ghost inside your 2:17 AM
⸻
Verse 3
Maybe someday you’ll scroll slow
Catch the eyes you didn’t know
Notice someone in the crowd
Who was never very loud
Maybe then you’ll understand
All the hearts beside your name
Were a language left unsaid
In a world that moves too fast
⸻
Bridge
If I disappear tonight
Would you notice in the light
Of a screen that never sleeps
Or a memory you keep
Maybe love’s just passing through
Every timeline we outgrew
⸻
Final Chorus
Seen at 2:17 AM
Still I whisper to the screen
Every feeling that I hide
In the spaces in between
If you ever read my name
In the quiet of your frame
Maybe then you’ll understand
I was there at 2:17 AM
