(Verse 1)

It's 2 a.m. and the city's asleep,

But my thumb knows your name without looking.

I tell myself I'm just taking a peek —

Same lie I've been quietly cooking.

Your profile loads, and there you are,

Living your life in highlights and squares.

I see you liked her photo from the bar,

The one with the dress that you used to stare at.

And I wonder...

(Pre-Chorus)

Do you wonder too?

Do your fingers itch when my name crosses you?

You don't text, you don't call, you don't say a thing —

But I see you here every night, lingering.

(Chorus)

You're online now, but not for me,

Just a ghost in the machine, setting me free... not.
