[Verse 1]
You clock in before the sun
Coffee in one hand
Tool bag in the other
Climbing poles
Crawling through dust
You still text me
“Hey beautiful lover”
You’re out there chasing little blinking lights
So we can stream dumb shows at night
While I’m at home
In your old shirt
Laughing at memes you made work
[Pre-Chorus]
You hook up the world
But you hooked me first
Every mile of cable
Started with this curse
I said
“I’ll never date
Someone glued to their job”
Then you smiled
Flipped a switch
Now my heart just throbbed
[Chorus]
You bring fiber to the world
But you’re fiber to my heart
Running every single line
Yeah
You lit me from the start
You connect a million homes
But you’re my favorite part
You bring fiber to the world
But you’re fiber to my heart
(Yeah, you wired up my soul)
(Plugged me right into your love)
[Verse 2]
You come home smelling like rain and concrete
Boots by the door
You collapse on the couch
You say
“Long day
Folks were losing their minds
Over one slow page
Can you believe that now?”
I kiss your forehead
Say “You superhero nerd”
You laugh so loud
Almost wake the birds
You fix the lag
Fix the line
But baby you fixed this heart of mine
[Pre-Chorus]
You climb those towers
While I count the hours
Watching dots on a screen
Till you walk in
So mean
With that crooked little grin
Helmet hair
“Where’s my kiss?”
I roll my eyes
Then I fold
I can’t resist
[Chorus]
You bring fiber to the world
But you’re fiber to my heart
Running every single line
Yeah
You lit me from the start
You connect a million homes
But you’re my favorite part
