[Intro] In the glow of the screen, small city hums along A hoodie of tangerine, a couch that’s home for now [Verse 1] Little taps, big feelings, scrolling through the day Snaps of coffee cups, late bus windows, gray But that orange of courage keeps my head up high I’m listening to a thousand voices passing by [Pre-Chorus] Then a message pops, a friend says, “are you there?” I breathe in, I breathe out, I’m almost smiling everywhere [Chorus] We’re tied by wifi and daylight, you and I Through screens we share the moments and the worries we keep inside Just a quiet moment, but it feels like we’re alive Yeah we’re connected, even when we’re shy [Verse 2] Notes ping softly, plans spelled out in blue and white, Dreams in the margins, questions at night I’m plotting futures with a thumb and a sigh Wondering who I’ll be when the checklist says “try [Pre-Chorus] One more ping, a memory to save for later A voice says, “it’s all okay, you’re doing greater,” later [Chorus] We’re tied by wifi and daylight, you and I Through screens we share the moments and the worries we keep inside Just a quiet moment, but it feels like we’re alive Yeah we’re connected, even when we’re shy [Bridge] Orange glow on the wall, a promise in the air If I pause the scrolling, I might notice there Are little wins I’m keeping, like pockets of bright Tiny steps toward a bigger light [Chorus] We’re tied by wifi and daylight, you and I Through screens we share the moments and the worries we keep inside Just a quiet moment, but it feels like we’re alive Yeah we’re connected, even when we’re shy [Outro] Couch and phone, a simple stage for growing up and trying Orange outfit, ordinary magic, quietly flying
