We're talking small, like how you been?
Like how's your mom? And all your friends?
We're catching up about all the – trending
You crack a joke 'bout kissin' me
'Bout going there, 'bout lovin' me
I laugh it off as if that – wouldn't wreck me

You drop me off, your window's down
I'm lookin' in, you're lookin' up
I say goodnight as if my heart isn't wrenchin'
I'll say it now (I'll say it now)
You're everything (you're everything)
Turn back around, and never leave
I type it out as if that's the text I'm sending
