“online” is the second solo single by Toronto pop artist MICO, released on September 13, 2019.
In the song, MICO details a relationship where his significant other is attached to forms of digital media rather than himself, longing for some form of reciprocation.
[Verse 1]
Oh, I been wondering why
You're out here getting mad when I can't give a .2 second reply
When I been waiting too long
For someone who would rather get an Insta post than write them a song
[Pre-Chorus]
Get off your phone when we're alone
I wanna hear you, not your tone
I'd rather sit here on my own
[Chorus]
Come on, give me a chance
Let me say a couple words right to your face with more than a glance
I swear, we would be fine
If only you could see what's right in front of you and not what's online
[Verse 2]
Oh, I been losing my rest
Cause you're too busy playing League at 4 instead of reading my texts
And you start telling me off
When I've been waiting all night just to hear a 30 second phone call
[Pre-Chorus]
Get off your phone when we're alone
I wanna hear you, not your tone
I'd rather sit here on my own
[Chorus]
Come on, give me a chance
Let me say a couple words right to your face with more than a glance
I swear, we would be fine
If only you could see what's right in front of you and not what's online
[Bridge]
I've been staying up late, you've been taking my time
Now I'm stuck here wondering if I should go and keep on whining
Get off your phone when we're alone
I wanna hear you, not your tone
I'd rather sit here on my own
[Chorus]
Come on, give me a chance
Let me say a couple words right to your face with more than a glance
I swear, we would be fine
If only you could see what's right in front of you and not what's online
Oh come on, give me a chance
Let me say a couple words right to your face with more than a glance
I swear, we would be fine
If only you could see what's right in front of you and not what's online
