[Intro: Juliana Chahayed]
(So leave a message, I'm disconnected)
(So leave a message, I'm disconnected)
[Verse 1: Juliana Chahayed]
Ninety-nine missed calls, I'm running late to something that can wait
Can’t remember what I planned, trying to meet their demands
How'd I end up here, all alone in my car
It’s easier, it’s quiet and I can’t take it
[Chorus: Juliana Chahayed]
Cause I’m not here now, I let you down
I’m busy trying to figure out
Being everybody's "everything"
I lost my voice, drowning out
To people I distrust and doubt
So leave a message, I’m disconnected
[Verse 2: Kenneth Takanami]
"Hey, it's me." Was it something I said or just timing?
Been a few days since I heard from you last
I'm going in circles trying to figure out
Our plans you bailed, and the silence so loud
If I don’t hear your voice, I might forget how it sounds
[Chorus: Juliana Chahayed, Juliana Chahayed, Kenneth Takanami]
I’m not here now, but I’ll hear you out
Still busy trying not to drown
Being everybody's "everything"
I lost my voice but I’m still around
Promise to find you in the crowd
So here’s my message, "I’m dis-"
(Disconnected) *beep*
