lyrics

What a glorious night for a walk.
How convenient, because I would love to talk
to you.

So, leave your phone at home,
take it down from it's throne.
Let me get you all alone!

I know it's hard for me
to be as interesting as a glowing screen.
But if you put your gadget down,
if you take a look around,
you'll find beauty in all that surrounds you.

Would it really be so tragic, dear,
if you left your stupid gadget here
tonight?

Will the sky really fall,
do you think you'll lose it all,
if you don't answer every call?

I know it's hard for me
to be as interesting as a glowing screen.
But if you put your gadget down,
if you take a look around,
you'll find beauty in all that surrounds you.

Just for one night
neglect, neglect, neglect
your digital friends.

Just for one night,
connect, connect, connect
to your physical friends.

I know it's hard for me
to be as interesting as a glowing screen.
But if you put your gadget down,
if you take a look around,
you'll find beauty in all that surrounds you.
