[Verse 1]
This room's so quiet
I can hear the sound of silence
Right here in your arms
And I'm falling asleep to your heartbeat
[Verse 2]
It's just you and I
Shadows in the passing headlights
And I think for a moment
You won't let go of me
[Pre-Chorus]
But suddenly that bright blue
Is glowing in this dark room
You turn away like I'm not here at all
[Chorus]
Why don't you put that fucking phone down?
Darling, so we could be alone now
Can't you just be here when the lights go out
Why don't you ever put that phone down?
What could be so goddamn important
That it can't wait until the morning?
You got me right here with my clothes off now
Why don't you put that fucking phone down?
[Verse 3]
Yeah, the first thing you do
Is when I reach out my hand to touch you
Are you hiding something from me?
Cause you moved when I get close
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I hate that bright blue
It's glowing in this dark room
You turn away like I'm not here at all
[Chorus]
Why don't you put that fucking phone down?
Darling, so we could be alone now
Can't you just be here when the lights go out
Why don't you ever put that phone down?
What could be so goddamn important
That it can't wait until the morning?
You got me right here with my clothes off now
Why don't you put that fucking phone down?
[Bridge]
You're killing the moment
The window is closing
It's only supposed to be two of us
Put that phone down
Please, put that phone down
Now I'm feeling awkward
It's actually torture
You're making a fool of the both of us
Put that phone down
Please, put that phone down
[Chorus]
Why don't you put that fucking phone down?
Darling, so we could be alone now
Can't you just be here when the lights go out
And just put that phone down?
What could be so goddamn important
That it can't wait until the morning?
You got me right here with my clothes off now
Why don't you put that fucking phone down?

The conversation about “Phone Down” was a really interesting one. Because, it was really complicated, because that song is super personal to me. Not only is it a true story, but, um I’m like, I can’t even begin to describe how sensitive I am to people being on their phones in front of me. I wish I c...
It was complicated, because it was coming out right around–going on radio basically, they wanted to go straight to radio with it around the same time “Capsize” was going on radio, and the conversation was, “If we go to radio stations with these two songs that you’re featured on, ‘Phone Down’ has no...
