lyrics

Another ping -- you rush to read it right away
Notifications up the wall, mmmm
But here's the thing: you check 58 times a day
Even when you're on a call

3 hours 15 minutes
Is a chunk of time when your heart's not in it
3 hours 15 minutes
Spent picking up the phone
3 hours 15 minutes
Starts a chain reaction with every visit
3 hours 15 minutes
Don't call this mind control

You need to stop and let those ringtones fade away
Look how you're twisting up inside, hmm
Like Pavlov's dogs, you've trained yourself to salivate
Whenever notices arrive

3 hours 15 minutes
Is a big distraction and a loss of focus
3 hours 15 minutes
Spent looking at your phone
3 hours 15 minutes
Is the time you spend on a thing so bogus
3 hours 15 minutes
Turns your mind into a stone

You have the heart of a marauder
The attention span of a toddler
I wanna talk to you, talk to you
But your eyes are on the phone
You have control if you want it
Take simple steps to achieve it
You have the power to be present
But instead I feel alone

You have control if you want it

Take simple steps to achieve it

You have the power to be present

Don't let them feel alone

Don't let them feel alone
