My interpretation of the song is about a relationship, maintained only through text. He knows it’s wrong, but he becomes more isolated and obsessed with the girl though the relationship itself is kept very distant between the two.
But he can’t help it, the girl’s too addictive.
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'm watching my screen all day
For a message from a far off place
I'm ready, all night, all day
All work, no fun, no play
All work, no fun, no play
[Chorus]
I didn't look for this
I played a trick on myself
I didn't look for it
I played a trick on myself
I've been this way before
This is the start of the hardest road
I've been this way before
This is the start of the hardest road
This is the long way down
This is the long way down
[Verse 2]
Don't hurry, don't worry, just wait
Sit still, keep quiet, don't stray
Good things might come my way
Like a message from a far off place
Like a message from a far off place
[Chorus]
I didn't look for this
I played a trick on myself
I didn't look for it
I played a trick on myself
How did it get to this?
I'm really lost with a girl like you
How did it get to this?
I'm really lost with a girl like you
This is the long way down
This is the long way down
