Silent Beeps

(beep, beep)

She's standing by the wall,

trying not to look

Staring at the screen like a dynamic book

Right beside the green ATM machine

But she keeps the notifications clean

Yeah, she says she doesn't care if the line goes cold But

she's checking on the silence like it's solid gold

And the machine is beeping loud,

filling up the space

(beep beep) But she's hiding every emotion on her face Yeah,

she holds her breath,

keeping it on ice

She keeps her phone on silent,

pretending not to care Waiting for a spark that isn't even there

Underneath the screen glow,

staring at the wall Waiting by the beep for a call that

won't fall (oh-oh-oh)

She pulls another twenty out,

looking at the screen Pretending she's engrossed in the banking routine

But her thumb is hovering above the glass pane

Playing silent movies in the middle of the rain (yeah)

Another loud chime but it's just the machine

She keeps her phone on silent,

pretending not to care Waiting for a spark that isn't even there

Underneath the screen glow,

staring at the wall Waiting by the beep for a call that

won't fall (oh-oh-oh)

Just a quiet screen in the dark (shhh) No sound,

no spark (beep, beep)
