Kitchen Light Replay

(mmmmm) You type it out,

you backspace again

The green dot's glowing,

but it's one AM

Phone's face-down on the counter tile

Pretending I don't care about your style

And the kitchen light is cruel

and bright

We're just painting circles in

the night

Say what you mean or don't say it at all

Leaving your shadow hanging on my wall

I keep replaying every single word

Even the ones that I never heard (yeah)

Three dots dancing then they disappear

You're staring at your screen in

bedroom fear

Another draft that you won't ever send How did a sentence

become our bitter end

Type it out,

delete (type it out) On repeat

(on repeat)
