Read the lyric sheet

Intro

Seatbelt chime won't quit but I'm not going inside Parked outside your complex waiting on a sign

Verse 1

Steering wheel's cold, twenty minutes sitting here Thumbs over a text I wrote then erased Three months kicking it, never once named what it was You called it hanging out, I called it everything I couldn't touch No photos of us, just screenshots of your stories Never been somebody's person, not for real Keep almost getting there then watching it dissolve Engine running and nowhere to go

Pre-chorus

Something jumps inside my chest every time I try to say it plain Practice conversations in the mirror but I choke on my own name

Chorus

I can build a career, optimize a thousand things Close the deal, design the pitch, pull the strings But I don't know how to love yet, don't know how to stay Fluent in everything except the words that make you wait

Verse 2

Timeline full of hard launches and matching anniversary posts I'm replaying our first kiss, how I turned my head too soon Everybody got their reps, hallways, dorms, backseat confessions I was home behind a screen building something, dodging storms Talking stages turn to ghosting, situationships expire Three dots vanish, I convince myself I never cared One more couple-story glowing on my phone at 2 AM Seatbelt chime still nagging, should drive but can't

Pre-chorus

Something jumps inside my chest every time I try to say it plain Practiced every conversation but I fold before the game

Chorus

Verse 3

Parents locked the door past nine, love was liability Therapist typed anxious avoidant, another label filed Apps turned faces into swipes, economy of skin Had one real shot and fumbled over something thin Left a paragraph in drafts that still lives unopened Small mistake, bad signal, then quiet you can't fix Generation learning closeness from comment sections Fifty-six percent showed up to life with zero reps

Bridge

I don't know how to be in a relationship That's not a diagnosis, just where I'm starting from I picture saying that to someone face to face And them not leaving

Verse 4

Say it out loud, windows fogging from my breath Not broken just unpracticed, difference I kept missing Sitting across from someone real, no algorithm Saying I've never done this right but I wanna learn the rhythm Boundaries I couldn't spell last year are vocabulary now Self-awareness isn't pretty but it's honest

Verse 5

Put the car in drive, text my boy: yo I need to talk Not a meme, not a voice note, talk that actually heals Re-download the app, different energy this time Not a highlight reel, just patient, learning, mine Being behind's not a sentence, it's a starting line Learn connection like a skill when you're honest every time

Chorus

I can build a career, optimize a thousand things Close the deal, design the pitch, pull the strings But I'm learning how to love now, learning how to stay Fluent in everything, and now I'm learning what to say

Outro

Seatbelt chime goes quiet when you finally decide to move
