lyrics

Nineteen seconds, that's all I've got
You asking if I'd eaten yet
I play it in the parking lot
Then dance until my eyes are wet

The bass is kind, it holds my chest
Like you would, like you would

(spoken sample: hey, it's me — call me when you can)
I would if heaven had a plan
(spoken sample: hey, it's me — call me when you can)
I'm dancing with you while I can
(spoken sample: hey, it's me — call me when you can)
(spoken sample: hey, it's me — call me when you can)

I wear your jacket out tonight
The sleeves hang long, the fit's not right
But when the drop lifts up the room
I swear you're somewhere in the boom

Nineteen seconds on repeat
Turn it louder than the beat
Nineteen seconds on repeat
Turn it louder than the beat

(spoken sample: hey, it's me...)
(spoken sample: hey, it's me...)
(spoken sample: hey, it's me — call me when you can)
