time online is the sixth song on the debut studio album by Nashville band Nightly.
This song is very representative for the whole band aesthetic and concept. Jonathan talks about living in this modern paradise and how we all adapt to some useless vices like being constantly active on social media....
[Intro]
(Yo, can I borrow your phone charger? I'm on 2%)
[Verse 1]
Scrolling through my phone
Leaving my home to meet a girl that I don't know
Looks like a model, asked for a follow
Swipe up for my discover code
And I pretend that I like it
Making small talk about the climate
Can tell she's been wondering all night
If I'm alright
[Chorus]
I get a little inside my head, and I don't know why
Feeling like I might as well be dead, it's fine
I don't sleep, but I try, sorry didn't reply
Been busy wasting time online
Still settling in this modern paradise
I get a little inside my head, and I don't know why
[Verse 2]
I'll take a photo of me at my show just so everybody knows
I'm in a cool band, talking to my fans
But whеn I go home alone
I pretеnd that I like it
In a quiet quarter life crisis
I've been wondering all night
If I'm alright
[Chorus]
I get a little inside my head, and I don't know why
Feeling like I might as well be dead, it's fine
I don't sleep, but I try, sorry didn't reply
Been busy wasting time online
Still settling in this modern paradise
I get a little inside my head, and I don't know why
[Bridge]
Saw a picture of me when I was only sixteen
And I didn't care about what it means
If I say what I'm feeling
Say what I'm feeling
At some fancy party
I'm thirteen hours from my family now
I've been wondering all night if I'm alright
[Chorus]
I get a little inside my head, and I don't know why
Feeling like I might as well be dead, it's fine
I don't sleep, but I try, sorry didn't reply
Been busy wasting time online
Still settling in this modern paradise
I get a little inside my head, but I'll be fine
I get a little inside my head, yeah I'm alright
