[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
