Stange Numbers

词:VEXIS 曲:VEXIS Your name pops up, a notification ghost A “Happy Birthday” wish that hurts the most We trade polite emojis, hollow and so thin A museum of the “we” that we’ve locked in I heard you got the job, the dog, the coastal town I’m scrolling through a life I almost found We’re experts in the art of “look away” Perfected since the ending of “our” day And I’ve rehearsed the lines of how I’m doing fine A bulletproof and calculated sign But in the space between the “Hey” and “Take good care” Our whole past is hanging, silent, in the air Now we’re just strange numbers in each other’s phone A “maybe call someday” that’s turned to stone We’re history with a heartbeat, echoes in a case Two strangers with a familiar face Oh, we’re masterpieces framed in different halls Collecting only dust upon the walls We don’t talk anymore, we just politely bleed On the altar of the love we used to need I found the playlist that you made for me A time capsule of who we used to be I let it play until the second track Then closed the app and never clicked it back You’re in the background of a mutual friend’s feed A smile that I used to know, a different seed We’re living proof that love can decompose Into a list of things that nobody knows Now we’re just strange numbers in each other’s phone A “maybe call someday” that’s turned to stone We’re history with a heartbeat, echoes in a case Two strangers with a familiar face Oh, we’re masterpieces framed in different halls Collecting only dust upon the walls We don’t talk anymore, we just politely bleed On the altar of the love we used to need They say that time kills everything, but that’s a lie Some things just learn the perfect way to hide They fold themselves so small inside your chest You almost think you’ve laid them all to rest Until a song, a scent, a stupid joke And you’re just twenty-two and not yet broke And for a second, in the neon glow I almost text you that I miss you so… But we’re just strange numbers… Strange numbers in the dark… Don’t talk anymore… We don’t talk anymore.
