Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You live in a timezone I have to subtract
Your morning is my almost getting ready for bed
We built a room out of sentences and lag
And decorated it with everything we've said

I know your kitchen from the background of your calls
I know your bookshelf left to right from what I've seen
I know the way you tilt your phone when you get shy
I've never touched your hand but I could draw it from the screen

[Chorus]
Read at eleven forty-seven
That means you saw it and you're thinking what to say
Online love is a furnished room with no floor
And we keep walking anyway

[Verse 2]
You sent me rain sounds from your window yesterday
I sent you back the sound of my specific street
We're trading cities like they're postcards made of noise
And every file attachment is a little bit of meet

My grandmother would say this isn't real
But my grandmother never had a signal to lose
She measured love by who showed up with food
I measure love by who stays up past the time they'd choose

[Chorus]
Read at eleven forty-seven
That means you saw it and you're thinking what to say
Online love is a furnished room with no floor
And we keep walking anyway

[Bridge]
One day we'll be in the same room and it will be
Smaller than the one we built with words
Every room is smaller than the one you imagined
That's not a warning that's just what happens to a bird

[Outro]
You're typing
The three dots are bouncing
That's enough for now
That's almost enough
