You got a number in the city,
But you never learned to dance.
You got an offer that was pretty,
But you never took a chance.
Tried your best to pinch your pennies.
Tried to make the moment last.
Left a dollar on the table.
Left a sip inside the glass.
You couldn't see, you were already free,
But you just want to watch that Screen.
You tried your best not to be naughty
But you clicked it just the same
Hoped nobody was a lookin’
So happy that you hadn’t paid
Feels like the seasons are a loopin’
And the shuffle’s on repeat
Left a quarter in the washer
And put a sneaker on your feet
You couldn’t see that you were already free
But you just wanna touch that screen
How could it be? You’re not out on the scene
Cause you just want to touch that screen
Now it’s time to crunch the numbers
Oh can’t you hear the piper play
Wondering how they got your number
And why you sit inside all day
Feels like the music is a loopin’
And the verse is kinda weak
Bounce it down and start another
Go get a caffeinated treat
You couldn’t see that you were already free
But you just wanna touch that screen
How could it be? You’re not out on the scene
Cause you just want to touch that screen
