Nobody Texts First Anymore
Snowie Storm
Nobody Texts First Anymore
Verse 1
We used to talk past 2 AM
Now conversations just depend
On who gets lonely enough to try
Or who breaks down on a Friday night
Everybody’s “doing great”
Posting pictures, running late
But somewhere between the typing dots
We forgot how not to stop
Pre-Chorus
Now every phone lights up the room
But nobody really follows through
Chorus
Nobody texts first anymore
Hearts stay locked behind closed doors
Everybody waits around
Too scared to need somebody now
We read messages, let ‘em fade
Like love’s a game nobody plays
Yeah we’re more connected than before
But nobody texts first anymore
Verse 2
I miss random “how you been?”
Not just memes or checking in
When somebody’s halfway gone
And silence feels safer than being wrong
Maybe we got too used to distance
Calling detachment independence
Now every friendship’s hanging by
A couple words and a Wi-Fi line
Pre-Chorus
And everybody wants to be missed
But nobody risks it
Chorus
Nobody texts first anymore
Hearts stay locked behind closed doors
Everybody waits around
Too scared to need somebody now
We read messages, let ‘em fade
Like love’s a game nobody plays
Yeah we’re more connected than before
But nobody texts first anymore
Bridge
So maybe I’ll send the first “hello”
Even if my pride says no
Maybe someone out there too
Is staring at their screen like you
Final Chorus
‘Cause nobody texts first anymore
And everybody’s keeping score
But maybe love still survives
In simple words that say “you alright?”
Maybe breaking silence hurts
But not as much as feeling worse
Than wondering what we’re waiting for
If nobody texts first anymore
Outro
Typing dots in the dark…
Waiting on somebody’s heart.
