Hey, how’s it going
Hey, what you doing
Wanna come over tonight
I listen for a heartbeat
Talking to a phone screen
But nothing’s on the other side
Actor from LA, writer from the bay
Anyone could be a good time
I could go out tonight, go with the flow
Let someone else take off my clothes
But you’re still on my mind
And I don’t want an empty connection
A cry for attention
Just another way to distract my heart
So I can keep myself from falling apart
Empty connection
Another lesson
I could swipe right ’til both my thumbs turn blue
But I just wanna throw my phone away and run to you
He’s handsome funny and he’s got money
And he says he likes my vibe
I could let him kiss me, tell me that he loves me
I’ll probably feel fine
But I miss laughing ’til we cry
Your hands holding mine
Feeling something new
I’ll drink another glass of wine so I can get you off my mind
And stop wishing he was you
Just another empty connection
A cry for attention
Just another way to distract my heart
So I can keep myself from falling apart
Empty connection
Another lesson
I could swipe right ’til both my thumbs turn blue
But I just wanna throw my phone away and run to you
I wish I could fuck the pain away
Scream someone else’s name to drown you out
I could let him run his fingers through my hair
Another meaningless affair to stop the drought
I could do without, I could do without
Another empty connection
A cry for attention
Just another way to distract my heart
So I can keep myself from falling apart
Empty connection
Another lesson
I could swipe right ’til both my thumbs turn blue
But I just wanna throw my phone away and run to you
