[Verse 1]
We used to stay up talking in the dark
Sharing every secret, every wish upon a star
You'd laugh so hard you'd nearly lose your breath
Now I sit beside you and there's nothing left to say
You got that little glowing screen
Said everybody had one, didn't seem like much to me
But somewhere in that blue-white light
My sister started fading from my sight
[Pre-Chorus]
You're sitting right beside me in this room
But it feels like I'm a thousand miles from you
[Chorus]
It's like something's living in that phone
Looking through the glass when you're alone
I call your name but you're somewhere I can't go
Right here beside me, but you're gone
Your smile still shines but not the way it used to
Your eyes are open but they don't see me anymore
I don't know what took your heart away
But every day you're turning into stone
[Verse 2]
Remember riding bicycles at dusk
Chasing fireflies until our mother called us home
Now the evening paints the sky in gold
And you never even notice anymore
I swear that thing knows how to sing
Like a siren calling sailors to the sea
Every buzz and every little chime
Pulls you farther from this world and farther from me
[Pre-Chorus]
You're sitting right beside me in this room
But it feels like I'm a thousand miles from you
[Chorus]
It's like something's living in that phone
Looking through the glass when you're alone
I call your name but you're somewhere I can't go
Right here beside me, but you're gone
Your smile still shines but not the way it used to
Your eyes are open but they don't see me anymore
I don't know what took your heart away
But every day you're turning into stone
[Bridge]
I hate the way that glowing screen can hold you
Like a pair of eyes that never blink at all
A thousand little whispers from the darkness
And somehow you can hear every one of them call
I wish I knew how to break the spell
To bring back the girl I knew so well
The one who filled every room with light
Before something stole it in the middle of the night
[Pre-Chorus]
You're sitting right beside me in this room
But it feels like I'm a thousand miles from you
[Final Chorus]
It's like something's living in that phone
Looking through the glass when you're alone
I call your name and I keep hoping you'll come home
Right here beside me, but you're gone
Your smile still shines but not the way it used to
Your eyes are open but they don't see me anymore
I don't know what took your heart away
But every day you're turning into stone
[Outro]
You used to hold my hand when thunder shook the sky
Now your fingers only touch that screen of light
And I keep waiting for the sister that I know
But every day you're turning into stone
Turning into stone...
