Offline Paradise

Intro

mm-mm, la-la, uh-huh

soft click, soft click, mm

Verse

Blue light like a rumor on my skin

Notifications humming like a hymn

Late-night feed that never lets me sleep (no, no)

I count the little things I used to keep

There’s a porch with a crooked swing

Old radio, a slow string thing

Dust motes dancing in a golden tide

Where I left my small, unwired life

Pre-chorus

Unplug the noise, let the screen go dim (ah)

Breathe the room, let a wild song in

I’m trading timelines for a crooked road

For paper maps and a slow commode

Chorus

Take me to Offline Paradise (oh-oh)

Take me to Offline Paradise (oh-oh)

Take me to Offline Paradise (la-la, mm)

Take me to Offline Paradise (oh)

Verse

Bike bell, river bend, barefoot on gravel

Warm coffee, crossword, no need to travel

Polaroids fading on the kitchen wall

A simple joke, an easy call (yeah)

You and me and the radio low

Counting constellations we already know

No algorithm telling me what to feel

Just the honest hush, the slow reveal

Pre-chorus

Turn off the badge, let the red light die (ah-hah)

I’ll learn the sound of crickets, the honest sky

Swap endless scrolling for an open door

For barefoot mornings and a little more

Chorus

Take me to Offline Paradise (oh-oh)

Take me to Offline Paradise (oh-oh)

Take me to Offline Paradise (la-la, mm)

Take me to Offline Paradise (oh)

Bridge

I’m learning to miss the ache of missing things

To let the quiet teach my restless thumbs

Countin’ paper money of small reckonings (mm)

Laying down the noise until the numb becomes some

(ah, ah) remember how the air can taste like rain

(ah, ah) remember how a laugh can stretch the day

Chorus

Take me to Offline Paradise (oh-oh)

Take me to Offline Paradise (oh-oh)

Take me to Offline Paradise (la-la, mm)

Take me to Offline Paradise (oh)

Take me to Offline Paradise (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Take me to Offline Paradise (la-la, mm)

Outro

mm-mm, mm-mm, la-la

Soft click fades, we stay outside (stay outside)
