SAME SKY, DIFFERENT SCREENS

Songtext

[Intro – Soft, whispered vocals] Another night, another little escape Same old world, but a different place Headphones on, let the real world fade Funny how strangers become our safe space... [Verse 1] Long day, tired eyes, just wanna disappear Open up a little world where somebody's here Changing up my outfit, finding somewhere new Never know what kind of soul I'm gonna run into Some are here for fashion, some are here for fun Some are chasing sunsets underneath a digital sun Some are building kingdoms, some just wanna dance Some are finding friendships they never thought they'd have And everybody's got a story Behind a face we see A thousand different lives Living in this little screen [Pre-Chorus] We don't know what someone's going through When they log in and say hello to you A little kindness goes a long, long way Sometimes one good friend can change your day [Chorus] Same sky, different screens Living out our little dreams Different faces, different names But underneath, we feel the same We laugh, we love, we fall apart Little pixels, human hearts And if the whole world disappears I'll remember who I found in here Ooh-ooh, somewhere in between Real-life souls and digital dreams Ooh-ooh, more than what it seems Same sky, different screens [Verse 2] Late-night conversations, dancing till it's three Someone halfway 'round the world is laughing here with me Screenshots of the moments that we wish would never end People who were strangers, now we're calling them our friends Some people come and some people go Some teach us lessons that we didn't wanna know We make mistakes, we change, we grow Sometimes holding on means learning to let go And somewhere in Avakin tonight Someone's having the time of their life Someone's healing from a broken heart Someone's finding their brand-new start [Pre-Chorus 2] You don't have to wear a crown to shine Don't need a million likes to be worth someone's time Just bring your heart and come as you are There's room for everybody underneath these stars [Chorus] Same sky, different screens Living out our little dreams Different faces, different names But underneath, we feel the same We laugh, we love, we fall apart Little pixels, human hearts And if the whole world disappears I'll remember who I found in here Ooh-ooh, somewhere in between Real-life souls and digital dreams Ooh-ooh, more than what it seems Same sky, different screens [Bridge – Stripped-back instrumental, intimate vocals] Maybe we've never met face to face Never shared a room or occupied the same space But you made me laugh when I wanted to cry You gave me somewhere to escape for a while And when the servers go quiet And the music fades away The memories don't log out They find a place to stay So here's to every stranger Who became somebody's friend And all the little moments We wish would never end... [Final Chorus – Soft harmonies, layered vocals] Same sky, different screens More than just our avatars and dreams Different stories, different names But underneath, we feel the same We laugh, we love, we fall apart Little pixels, human hearts And when the night is finally through I'm glad this little world led me to you [Outro – Fading vinyl crackle] Another night, another little escape A million little stories in a virtual place And somewhere out there, somebody knows my name... Goodnight, my little digital world.
