Screen Time
Digital Yearning: Navigating Love in a Screened World
Lyrics
Sitting in my room
Sitting alone and contemplating in my room
And I wonder what you're doing
Curious about your activities and thoughts
Thinking if you're thinking 'bout me too
Wondering if you're also thinking about me
Waiting for your text
Anticipating your text message
Then I'm waiting for the next
Eagerly waiting for the subsequent messages
Hoping that you might wanna meet soon
Hoping for the possibility of a soon face-to-face meeting
Can't read your sign so I wonder
Uncertain about your feelings, struggling to interpret your signals
Do you feel the same inside
Questioning if you share similar emotions
I can't stop checking my phone for your next text
Constantly checking my phone for your next message
Worried 'bout my screen time
Anxiety about the amount of time spent on the screen
Never before have I ever been so obsessed
Unprecedented level of preoccupation with your thoughts
With what you have in mind
Fascinated and concerned about your intentions
Day by day and night by night I cry
Experiencing emotional distress day and night
Worried 'bout my screen time
Concerned about the impact of excessive screen time
Give me a sign so that I can feel alright
Pleading for a clear sign to ease emotional turmoil
You keep leaving me on read
Feeling ignored as messages are left unread
Was it something that I said
Wondering if a statement I made caused this behavior
Trying not to act like it ain't cool
Attempting to act casually despite inner turmoil
Can't get out my bed
Struggling to get out of bed due to emotional distress
Can you please get out my head?
Requesting to stop occupying my thoughts
People saying "what's gotten into you"
Others noticing and questioning the change in behavior
Can't read your sign so I wonder
Uncertain about your feelings, struggling to interpret your signals (repeated)
Do you feel the same inside
Questioning if you share similar emotions (repeated)
I can't stop checking my phone for your next text
Constantly checking my phone for your next message (repeated)
Worried 'bout my screen time
Anxiety about the amount of time spent on the screen (repeated)
Never before have I ever been so obsessed
Unprecedented level of preoccupation with your thoughts (repeated)
With what you have in mind
Fascinated and concerned about your intentions (repeated)
Day by day and night by night I cry
Experiencing emotional distress day and night (repeated)
Worried 'bout my screen time
Concerned about the impact of excessive screen time (repeated)
Give me a sign so that I can feel alright
Pleading for a clear sign to ease emotional turmoil (repeated)
