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
