fingering the phone - molly adeline dawson, muddysouth music lyrics

sittin’ on the porch swing, boots kicked off
hoped he’d light a fire, but the spark was lost
he’s got his hands on something, thought it’d be me
but he’s tappin’ that screen like it sets him free

pre*chorus
i thought we’d find a groove
but he ain’t making a move
boy, you’re out of luck
if all you got’s that touch

chorus
turns out he’s fingering the phone
scrollin’ through the night while i’m sittin’ alone
i thought i’d be the one keeping him up till dawn
but his thumbs are tied to that thing he’s on
he’s next to me, but his mind’s long gone
turns out he’s just fingering the phone

verse 2
tried to catch his eye with my sunday best
but he’s too busy checkin’ who liked his last text
i even hummed a tune from an old george strait
but he’s in the comment section—lord, it’s too late

pre*chorus
i thought i’d steal his heart
but that screen’s got a head start
if that’s what he calls romance
guess he don’t stand a chance
chorus
turns out he’s fingering the phone
scrollin’ through the night while i’m sittin’ alone
i thought i’d be the one keeping him up till dawn
but his thumbs are tied to that thing he’s on
he’s next to me, but his mind’s long gone
turns out he’s just fingering the phone

bridge
so i grabbed my guitar and started to play
a little goodbye tune, let him scroll away
if that boy can’t see what’s right in his lap
then he can keep swiping—‘cause i ain’t coming back
now i’m done with him fingering the phone
i’ll be pickin’ my strings instead of diggin’ up bones
i ain’t waiting around, crying or forlorn
while he’s too busy tapping till his thumbs are worn
i’m living life loud, in a world all my own
and he can keep on fingering the phone

outro
sittin’ on the porch swing, boots kicked off
singing my own song, ‘cause honey, i’m the boss
