[Verse 1]
Late text
Blue glow on your bracelet
You type “it’s fine”
But the dots keep shaking
Gold ring
On the dash just rolling
Your name
In my throat, it’s choking (ah yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Why you hiding tears
In your eyeliner?
Why you say you’re here
But feel farther? (so far)
Every time you breathe
Feels like thunder
You say we’re alright
It sounds like cover
[Chorus]
You’re my desert moon in my phone screen
Half a world away, but you still beam (still shine)
Every time you fade, my heart screams
“Don’t hang up, don’t hang up on me” (on me, on me)
Spelling out your pain in your own script
I can hear it shake in your soft lips (yeah)
If we fall apart, then I won’t sleep
You’re my desert moon that I still keep
[Verse 2]
Old scarf
Hanging from my headboard
Smells like
Spice, wind, and that airport (mmm)
You laugh
Over beat-up speakers
Same joke
But it hits me deeper (oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Why you flood your feed
With fake sunshine?
Tell the world you’re healed
But you’re flatline (uh-uh)
I can feel your pulse
Through the slow call
If you gotta break
Then I’ll break, fall
[Chorus]
You’re my desert moon in my phone screen
Half a world away, but you still beam (still shine)
Every time you fade, my heart screams
“Don’t hang up, don’t hang up on me” (don’t go)
Spelling out your pain in your own script
I can hear it shake in your soft lips
If we fall apart, then I won’t sleep
You’re my desert moon that I still keep (still keep)
[Bridge]
Send me all your storms
I’ll sing over them (yeah)
Stack my voice with yours
Turn hurt into hymns
If the world gets loud
And your faith gets thin
Say my name once more
And I’ll rush right in (right in)
[Chorus]
You’re my desert moon in my phone screen
Half a world away, but you still beam (so bright)
Every time you fade, my heart screams
“Don’t hang up, don’t hang up on me” (on me, on me)
Spelling out your pain in your own script
I can hear it shake in your soft lips
If we fall apart, then I won’t sleep
You’re my desert moon that I still keep
[Outro]
Desert moon
Don’t move
Stay there
I’m coming through (yeah)
Just breathe
Just speak
One word
I won’t leave (never)
