Fade to Gray

Mmm… yeah… check it…

Screen glow flickers on the ceiling tiles,

Staring at a picture from a couple miles.

You dropped a pin, but you hid the location,

Got me trapped in a full-time contemplation.

2 AM, got my mind in a spiral,

Hoping that a late-night thought goes viral.

I should log out, lock my phone in a drawer,

One little ping’s got me begging for more…

Fade to gray, but you’re stuck on replay—

Bet you think about the things I say.

Ooh-ooh, baby, why you acting cold?

Don’t keep the secret that we both hold.

Fade to gray, yeah, the narrative’s deep—

We’re talking midnight promises we gotta keep.

You checked my profile from a burner page,

Playing it cool like we’re off the stage.

I dropped a teaser, you skipped the reply,

But your status updates tell a whole different lie.

Silent reactions, but the spark’s still bright,

Shadowboxing with your ghost in the night.

I should turn back, leave the history behind,

One little signal could untangle my mind…

Fade to gray, but you’re stuck on replay—

Bet you think about the things I say.

Ooh-ooh, baby, why you acting cold?

Don’t keep the secret that we both hold.

Fade to gray, yeah, the narrative’s deep—

We’re talking midnight promises we gotta keep.

If you’re caught up, whisper through the speaker,

Every second waiting makes the signal weaker.

Then—snap back! (Piano riff + clap)

Fade to gray! (Hey!) But you’re stuck on replay—

Send a sign, turn the night into day.

Ooh-ooh, baby, stop the hide and seek,

Break the silence, let the feelings speak.

Fade to gray, rewrite the script instead—

We’re one light touch away from where we led.

Fade… to… gray…

Still holding the line…

Unmute me.
