Phone Static

I wanna turn my phone off
But that's where all my friends are
What do I do
Why is it so hard
To find someone new
So far away
Are the days
That I used to have someone right beside me
Now I confide in my phone screen
It's tiring
I just wanna feel something

Lonely nights talking to pixels
I don't go out
Don't intermix with the crowd
And I wonder why
I'm sitting all alone
Staring at my phone oh

I just want a connection
Is that so hard to ask for
I just want something that's real, that's alive
Don't want no white noise on the other line
I just want a connection
Is that so hard to ask for
I just want something that's real, that's alive
Don't want no phone static, phone static oh

Phone static oh

I'm tired of being by myself
But it's better for my mental health
I do not like anybody here
So why do I care
I tell myself
That I just need to have someone right beside me
Or else I'm nothing
But for me
I'd rather be alone
Than with some people that I don't know

Lonely nights talking to pixels
I don't go out
Don't intermix with the crowd
And I wonder why
I'm sitting all alone
Staring at my phone oh

I just want a connection
Is that so hard to ask for
I just want something that's real, that's alive
Don't want no white noise on the other line
I just want a connection
Is that so hard to ask for
I just want something that's real, that's alive
Don't want no phone static, phone static oh

Text messages on repeat
Start to lose all feeling
Where are the people for me
Text messages on repeat
Start to lose all feeling
Where are the people for me

Phone static, phone static oh
Phone static, phone static
Phone static, phone static oh
Phone static, phone static
