[Verse 1]
How do you feel
That I just made you a playlist? Ah
Listen to it
When you're flying over Vegas, ah
[Pre-Chorus]
I bet I'll think of you tonight
Rolling my eyes and holding onto time
And I miss you so much, I wanna die
Can you call me?
[Chorus]
Mmm, we're talking just to waste time
Mmm, and I don't wanna say goodbye, goodbye
When you get this, can you ring me back?
Can you hear me now? Oh
Call me when you're done with that
Can you hear me now? Oh
Mmm, as we disconnect on FaceTime in real life, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Can you hear me now? Mmm
Can you hear me now? Oh
[Verse 2]
Know I'm not there, but
Just phone me if you need me, me
Sent you something
Just to listen as you're driving through to Tennessee, but
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope you think of me tonight
Holding my hands and telling me you're mine
And I miss you so much, I wanna die
Can you call me?
[Chorus]
Mmm, we're talking just to waste time
Mmm, and I don't wanna say goodbye, goodbye
When you get this, can you ring me back?
Can you hear me now? Oh
Call me when you're done with that
Can you hear me now? Oh
Mmm, as we disconnect on FaceTime in real life, oh
[Bridge]
'Cause life keeps cruising and I'm still frozen here
Lines keep moving no matter how slow they seem
For the time being, I'm fine being here
[Chorus]
We're talking just to waste time, ah
And I don't wanna say goodbye, goodbye
When you get this, can you ring me back?
Can you hear me now? Oh
Call me when you're done with that
Can you hear me now? Oh
Mmm, as we disconnect on FaceTime in real life, oh
[Outro]
'Cause life keeps cruising and I'm still frozen here (We're talking just to waste time)
Lines keep moving no matter how slow they seem (Waste time)
For the time being, I'm fine being here

I wrote this at the beginning of 2020. I was away for almost three months, and I was FaceTiming my friends and my family and my boyfriend every day. When I go to LA, I’m either working or I’m sitting at home. In the bridge, I talk about how everything feels so slow, especially this year. It feels li...
