(Verse 1)

My phone's at 5%, it's screaming in red,

I'm rummaging through drawers, under the bed.

And there it is — your charger, coiled like a snake,

The one you forgot that night, by mistake.

I hold it in my hand, it's just a cable and plastic,

But suddenly the room feels a little less static.

I could use it, charge up, move on with my day —

But if I do, you'll have no reason to stay.

(Pre-Chorus)

I plug it in, the screen lights up bright,

Your name on my mind, burning through the night.

I could text you "Come get it," simple and true —

But then what? Then what? Then I lose you.

(Chorus)

You left your charger at my place,

Now it's sitting here, taking up space.

It's just a cord, it's just a wire,
