And there I was scrolling


And there I was scrolling through the music on my phone

Looking for You

Trying to find You

Instead of Me

Now I didn’t even know I was lost

Let alone that I needed to find myself

Let alone I wasn’t even looking

 

So, there I sat scrolling

Trying to find You

Cause I’m not with You

And I’m far from You

 

I’m far from You?

I’m far from Me

And what about Me?

Lately it’s only been about Me

And nobody’s going to stop Me

 

Cause that’s the problem when you grow Up

Is; no one’s there when you grow Up

And no one’s there when you screw Up

And no one’s there to remind you that when you’re scrolling through the music on your phone you should be looking for

 

You
