Little Screens

We got these little screens that keep us out of touch

We’re sittin’ right here but I can’t get close enough

You’ve got me checkin’ my connection

Think I’m losin’ my direction

Am I missin’ something more I can’t look up

We’ve got our moments but between them nothing clicks

Time goes by in 30 second clips

I can fake it ’til it kills me

’Til the emptiness fulfils me

If I smile a little bigger will it stick?

Now lookin’ through the glass

At how much time has passed

I want a memory that lasts

When I turn out the lights

I can’t get through to you

No matter how I try

You’re phonin’ it in

And I’m hangin’ out on the line

Well you swear you just can’t stand to be alone

But I know that other side you never show

Well I see things that they don’t see

But you hardly ever talk to me

You just stare into that ultraviolet glow

Now lookin’ through the glass

At how much time has passed

I want a memory that lasts

When I turn out the lights

I can’t get through to you

No matter how I try

You’re phonin’ it in

And I’m hangin’ out on the line

You’re phonin’ it in

And I’m hangin’ out on the line

We got these little screens that keep us out of touch
