Text Me

TEXT ME

Intro — 4 BARS

Don't call

I probably won't answer that

You know how this gets when we start talking

Just text me

HOOK — 8 BARS

Text me when you get that feeling

Text me when you're staring at the ceiling

Text me what you won't say out loud

Type it, erase it, then send it right now

Text me when your pride ain't winning

Text me if you hate how we ended

Don't dress it up, don't make it deep

If you're thinking 'bout me—text me

Verse 1 — 8 BARS

Three dots showed, then vanished again

Guess you fighting yourself on what you should've sent

Last time we spoke, you said, "Leave it alone"

Funny how "leave me alone" don't mean leave me alone

I ain't innocent, I know my part

Made being unavailable into an art

You needed answers, I gave you space

Now somebody else probably learning your ways

REFRAIN — 4 BARS

I could hit send first

But that would prove you right

So we both sitting stubborn

On opposite sides of the night

HOOK — 8 BARS

Text me when you get that feeling

Text me when you're staring at the ceiling

Text me what you won't say out loud

Type it, erase it, then send it right now

Text me when your pride ain't winning

Text me if you hate how we ended

Don't dress it up, don't make it deep

If you're thinking 'bout me—text me

Verse 2 — 8 BARS

Saw your name underneath somebody's picture

Almost tapped it, then remembered I ain't with you

That's a strange little place for a man to be

Still feeling entitled to what he chose to leave

Got your thread archived, never deleted

That's probably saying more than I intended

Could've blocked you, but what's the point in pretending?

We both know one message could restart the tension

REFRAIN — 4 BARS

No paragraphs

No "we need to talk"

Just send me something reckless

And let tonight be what it was

BRIDGE — 8 BARS

Send a period

I'll know what it means

Send that old inside joke

You know the one I mean

Send "you up?"

Send "never mind"

Send anything that tells me

I still cross your mind

BEAT SWITCH — 8 BARS

Truth is, I don't miss the fighting

I miss everything right before it

Your name lighting up my lock screen

Me pretending that I'd ignore it

Maybe we're bad at forever

Maybe goodbye ain't our thing

Maybe we only make sense

Somewhere between read and typing

FINAL HOOK — 8 BARS

Text me if the night gets honest

Text me, you ain't gotta make a promise

Text me like we never fell apart

Like you still got the shortcut to my heart

Text me, even if it's complicated

Even if tomorrow we regret we made it

You don't gotta tell me what this means

Just—

Text me.

OUTRO — 4 BARS

Three dots...

There you go.

I knew you wasn't asleep.

Send it.
