“It’s a pop song about getting notifications from everyone except the one person you want to hear from, which was happening to me at the time [that the song was written]. The opening sample — ‘There is a message for you’ — is a strange message that the credit card machines in Montreal cabs make.”

[Intro - Spoken]
There is a message for you
[Verse 1]
Messages, messages, I've been, I've been getting messages all night
Why don't I hear from you? Are you close, are you in, are you alright?
Messages, messages, I've been, I've been getting messages all night
Why are we here again? Where are you, can we leave? Let's go outside
[Chorus]
Here we are, history is repeating
Came so far, found happiness without meaning
Now I just wish I could take it for granted again
[Hook]
Messages, messages, I've been, I've been getting messages all night
Messages, messages, I've been, I've been getting messages all night
[Chorus]
Here we are, history is repeating
Came so far, found happiness without meaning
Now I just wish I could take it for granted again
[Bridge]
Look to the stars
Find out what it means to be free
Wherever you are
Whatever memories holding you down
Find out what it means to me now
All I see is a path in front of me
(Messages, messages, I've been, I've been getting messages all night)
And I almost can't believe it
(Messages, messages, I've been, I've been getting messages all night)
Now I just wish I could take it for granted again
(Messages, messages, I've been, I've been getting messages all night)
And I almost can't believe it
(Messages, messages, I've been, I've been getting messages all night)
[Outro]
Messages, messages, I've been, I've been getting messages
