Lyrics and music by me

Kisses on the cheek are the fastest way inside
My heart lifts off like a thousand fireflies
Fills the empty spaces with a temporary light
So cut the chat and give me a FaceTime
I like to see you're really there
I like your eyes
You might think that I'm old fashioned
And I'm not going to fight it

Come off it now
What are you doing here?
Either you know
Or no amount of small talk is going to fix this hole

So come off it now
What are we doing here?
Let's move this conversation out into the sunlight
I know that nobody likes it here
You know that nobody likes it here

We hate this place based on our profiles
And I don't think there would be any other reason
For us to tell each other such a pointless lie

Get off it now
What are we doing here?
Are you too emotionally unavailable to want to talk?

And is your goal to keep it online?
Because I would rather be outside
I know that nobody likes it here
You know that nobody likes it here
