Lyrics

Intro

Mmm-mm-mm

Mmm-mm-mm

Your battery is low

Verse 1

I should be sleeping it's way too late

Got work in the morning but here I stay

You're telling stories I've heard before

Still hanging on to every word

The clock says two then three then four

We said goodnight like five times more

Funny how leaving gets so hard to do

When I'm talking to you

Pre-Chorus

Then my screen lights up in red

A little warning at the edge

Chorus

We're down to one percent

But I ain't ready for the end

Every time I say goodbye

You make me change my mind again

One percent

And somehow that's enough

To keep me here another minute

When I know I should give up

My phone's about to die tonight

But I don't wanna lose you

Verse 2

Now we're both quiet for a little while

Just listening to each other smile

Talking 'bout nothing talking 'bout dreams

Somewhere in between

You start to yawn I start to laugh

You say okay this is really the last

Then twenty minutes disappear again

Like they always did

Pre-Chorus

Another warning starts to flash

Like time is moving way too fast

Chorus

We're down to one percent

But I ain't ready for the end

Every time I say goodbye

You make me change my mind again

One percent

And somehow that's enough

To keep me here another minute

When I know I should give up

My phone's about to die tonight

But I don't wanna lose you

Bridge

Then everything goes black

No goodbye

No talk tomorrow

No last joke

No extra second borrowed

Just silence in my room

And me staring at the ceiling

Realizing why my heart was racing

Chorus

'Cause it was never 'bout the phone

Never 'bout being alone

Never 'bout finding reasons just to stay awake

It was every little laugh

Every midnight looking back

Every moment that I wished the night would never change

We hit one percent

But somehow I finally get it

The battery was running out

I wasn't

I was falling for you

Outro

Mmm-mm-mm

The screen went dark

Mmm-mm-mm

But you stayed on my mind

Mmm-mm-mm

Guess one percent

Was all it took
