lyrics

(a phone buzzes: five percent)
We have a situation.
(uh oh)

One charger for our two dead phones
A white cord splitting up our home
You're at six percent, I'm at four
Love is math, and math is war
(bie dong, bie dong)

Rock, paper, scissors, best of five
Winner keeps their phone alive
(one, two, three!)

Five percent (five percent)
You're my favorite argument
Five percent (five percent)
Plug yours in — that's what love meant
(wan an, wan an)

You show me memes at one AM
I've seen them all; I laugh again
Kuai dian, sleep, we both have work
You steal the cord — you little jerk
(hey!)
(gimme that)

Five percent (five percent)
You're my favorite argument
Five percent (five percent)
Plug yours in — that's what love meant
(wan an)

When we get rich, two chargers, swear
Adapters blooming everywhere
But tonight, four percent, come here
We split the glow, we disappear
(wan an...)

Five percent (five percent)
You're my favorite argument
Five percent (five percent)
Plug yours in — that's what love meant
(wan an, wan an)

(the phone chimes: charging)
(wan an)
