Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You say you hate your phone
But you live in that screen
I send you something soft
You leave it on “seen”
You type and then you pause
Those dots start to breathe
Delete me three times over
Like I’m some draft you’ll never leave
[Chorus]
You only call when the bar lights blink
You only care when you start to sink
I’m chasing pings like they mean affection
Swear I’m done with your bad connection
You only laugh when there’s someone there
You only miss me when I don’t care
I’m chasing attention
It’s old
It’s tired
But I keep running back to the unread replies (hey!)
[Verse 2]
You say you’re “so bad at texts”
Funny
You’re fast with your memes
Whole novella in the group chat
But with me it’s one-word themes
“Issues
” “lol
” “my bad”
I could teach a class on you
Office hours always open
And somehow I’m the last one you get to
[Chorus]
You only call when the bar lights blink
You only care when you start to sink
I’m chasing pings like they mean affection
Swear I’m done with your bad connection
You only laugh when there’s someone there
You only miss me when I don’t care
I’m chasing attention
It’s old
It’s tired
But I keep running back to the unread replies
[Bridge]
Let it ring
Let it ring out
Let you talk to your own echo now (oh yeah)
If you want me
Say it straight
I’m not waiting on your lagging fate
[Chorus]
You only call when the bar lights blink
You only care when you start to sink
I’m chasing pings like they mean affection
Swear I’m done with your bad connection
You only laugh when there’s someone there
You only miss me when I don’t care
I’m chasing attention
It’s dumb
It’s wired
But I keep running back to the unread replies

Style
pop, Midtempo alt-pop with a dry, sarcastic edge; tight drums and rubbery bass carry a head-nod groove, plucky synths poking holes in the spaces between clipped male vocals. Verses stay muted and close-mic’d, leaning into eye-roll humor; chorus widens with chanty gang vocals and a sticky, repetitive hook. Occasional glitchy delays on key words to echo the “mixed signals” theme.
