Information Overload

Dearest, can you hear this? I'm calling your name
I don't know what it sounds like, but I think I know the frame
Of your shadow in the doorway, but I blink and then you're gone
Wisps of silky air left in your place after the storm

Swipe left, I'm not impressed, I don't think you were the one but
There's no way to know what we could have become
I'm fishing into darkness, and I hope to find a light
But even if I don't right now, I'll cast another line

So if you don't stay, then I'll have to throw my phone away

So I'll still put my best foot forward
Keep telling myself you're around the corner
But the information overload that we're caught up in
Is filling up with static now and I'll end up being forgotten

I might get whiplash from all this back and forth
One moment you're with me, and the next I'm being ignored
What do I have to do now to find somebody's warmth?
This whole sea is getting swallowed slowly by the storm

So if you don't stay then I guess I'll swipe the night away

So I'll still put my best foot forward
Keep telling myself you're around the corner
Are you even looking for my feet, am I off axis?
Is it too bold of me to even ask this?
My mama tells me that I'll be fine
That I will find you all in due time
But the information overload that we're caught up in
Is filling up with static now and I'll end up being forgotten

Doesn't it seem a little trite?
I wish all this was all black and white
I'm looking for a little light
So give me a reason to get through the night

So I'll still put my best foot forward
Keep telling myself you're around the corner
Are you even looking for my feet, am I off axis?
Is it too bold of me to even ask this?
My mama tells me that I'll be fine
That I will find you all in due time
But the information overload that we're caught up in
Is filling up with static now and I'll end up being
I'll end up being forgotten
