Lyrics
Description
Swipe, drop, repeat, can’t help but play, The story of phones in my hands every day.
But until then, it’s a game I’ll keep, Buying, breaking, promises cheap.
Swipe, drop, repeat, can’t help but play, The story of phones in my hands every day.
But until then, it’s a game I’ll keep, Buying, breaking, promises cheap.
From pristine to shattered, oh what a sight, My new phone′s glass is losing the fight.
Swipe, drop, repeat, the cycle’s so wild, Buying new phones like a restless child.
From the thrill of the shin to the break on the street, It′s a dance of tech and defeat.
Swipe, drop, repeat, can’t help but play, The story of phones in my hands every day.
Case on tight, arms so strong, But the pavement sings a different song.
Crack spreading like a web in the night, A closet of story out of sight.
Screams flickering, but I still scroll, Lost in the glow, it′s taking its toll.
Yet I′m back in the store, craving the new, The cycle′s endless, but what can I do?
Swipe, drop, repeat, the cycle′s so wild, Buying new phones like a restless child.
From the thrill of the shine to the break on the street, It′s a dance of tech and defeat.
Swipe, drop, repeat, can′t help but play, The story of phones in my hands every day.
Maybe one day I′ll keep it tight, Guard it close through day and night,
But until then it′s again I′ll keep, Buying, breaking, promises cheap.
Swipe, drop, repeat, the cycle′s so wild, Buying new phones like a restless child.
From the thrill of the shine.
Swipe, Drop, Repeat
