[Verse 1]
Dear diary, I'm feelin' lost again
Thinkin' of way back when
Every night I'd sit down to write
Dear diary, no longer an ink affair
My fingers now glide through air
Your pages compressed to a phone by my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
Type, delete, I just repeat
Waitin' for answers to light up my screen
Oh, type, delete, I just repeat
Type, delete, delete
[Chorus]
Paper to data and data to glory
Up in the cloud they are savin' my story
Paper to data and data to glory
Addin' the lines to my digital diary
Paper to data and data to glory
Up in the cloud they are savin' my story
Paper to data and data to glory
Addin' the lines to my digital diary
[Verse 2]
Dear diary, my nights used to be for you
Secrets only we knew
Then years came in grand, put a phone in my hand
[Verse 3]
I feel so weary but mirrors say, "You're a child"
So many hurricanes swirlin' inside my mind
I need some help, so I'm reachin' out through my phone
Only to realize we're all lost and alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Type, delete, I just repeat
Waitin' for answers to light up my screen
Oh, type, delete, I just repeat
Type, delete, delete
[Chorus]
Paper to data and data to glory
Up in the cloud they are savin' my story
Paper to data and data to glory
Addin' the lines to my digital diary
Paper to data and data to glory
Up in the cloud they are savin' my story
Paper to data and data to glory
Addin' the lines to my digital diary-yeah
[Post-Chorus]
So many bytes with my life I could fill (Digital diary; ohh)
If I don't live forever, at least my words will (Digital diary)
So many bytes with my life I could fill (Digital diary; woo, woo)
If I don't live forever (Digital diary; woo)
[Outro]
So many bytes with my life I could fill
If I don't live forever, at least my words will
So many bytes with my life I could fill
If I don't live forever, at least my words will
