Disconnected Hearts

(Mmm, yeah)

Put the screen down, darling

Let’s hear the music in the room

Five thousand contacts trapped behind the glass

Scrolling through shadows of a digital past

Notifications pinging like a hollow beat

While life is happening right out on the street

We keep our secrets in a silicon cage

Trading our feelings for a status page

Oh, the battery is full but the spirit is lean

Just staring at the glow of a blue-lit scene

Oh, put the phone away, let the silence talk

Take my hand, let’s go for a midnight walk

We’re more than pixels in a pocket light

Let’s find the real world in the velvet night

Yeah, put the phone away, look into my eyes

Underneath the moonlight, beneath the skies

Real connections need no signal bar

That’s right, just you and me exactly as we are

I see you tapping while the coffee goes cold

Ignoring the stories that wait to be told

We trade a touch for a heart-shaped icon

But I need the warmth that I can rely on

The signal is strong but the room feels so far

We’ve lost our compass and we’ve lost our star

Swing it, baby, let’s break the machine

And find the beauty in the spaces between

Oh, put the phone away, let the silence talk

Take my hand, let’s go for a midnight walk

We’re more than pixels in a pocket light

Let’s find the real world in the velvet night

Yeah, put the phone away, look into my eyes

Underneath the moonlight, beneath the skies

Real connections need no signal bar

That’s right, just you and me exactly as we are

Can you remember the sound of a voice?

Not a recording, but making a choice

To be present, to be here, to be whole

Before we lose the rhythm of our own soul

(Swing it, yeah)

So lock the screen and let the screen go black

There’s no use looking at the data we lack

Real love is messy and it’s loud and it’s deep

It’s not something that a device can keep

It’s the rhythm of breath, it’s the spark in the gaze

Turning the lights out on this digital haze

Oh, put the phone away, let the silence talk

Take my hand, let’s go for a midnight walk

We’re more than pixels in a pocket light

Let’s find the real world in the velvet night

Yeah, put the phone away, look into my eyes

Underneath the moonlight, beneath the skies

Real connections need no signal bar

That’s right, just you and me exactly as we are

Just you and me, yeah

Disconnect the wire, light the fire

Put the phone away

Let’s live for real today

(Mmm, that’s right)

Fade to silence
