Ari, Put the Phone Down

歌词

[Intro] Yeah, Ari You know what it is [Verse 1] Ari saw the name flash up on my phone Asked who she was before I got home I said, “Just a friend,” but she folded her arms Reading every pause like a five-alarm She knows my passcode, knows my route Counts every minute when I’m out At dinner, her fork went cold on the plate While she watched my screen like it held her fate [Pre-Chorus] She says she trusts me, then checks twice Turns one small doubt into a roll of dice I reach for her hand, she pulls away Then asks why I’m quiet at the end of the day [Chorus] Ari, why you jealous when I’m standing right here? You’re fighting ghosts that never came near Ari, put the questions down, look me in the eyes You don’t have to guard a heart that’s already by your side Ari, Ari, don’t let suspicion take the wheel You’re the only one I’m trying to keep real [Verse 2] She saw me laugh with a girl from the crew Turned a harmless joke into something untrue By midnight, three paragraphs lit my phone “Tell me where you are, don’t leave me alone” I know that fear got a history Old broken promises hiding underneath But I’m not the one who taught you to brace Every time love walks into the place [Pre-Chorus] She says she trusts me, then checks twice Turns one small doubt into a roll of dice I reach for her hand, she pulls away Then asks why I’m quiet at the end of the day [Chorus] Ari, why you jealous when I’m standing right here? You’re fighting ghosts that never came near Ari, put the questions down, look me in the eyes You don’t have to guard a heart that’s already by your side Ari, Ari, don’t let suspicion take the wheel You’re the only one I’m trying to keep real [Bridge] No secret room, no hidden name No second story underneath the frame If you want the truth, ask me plain Don’t make a prison out of yesterday’s pain I’ll show you love, but you’ve got to choose Trust isn’t something either of us can lose [Final Chorus] Ari, why you jealous when I’m standing right here? You’re fighting ghosts that never came near Ari, put the questions down, look me in the eyes You don’t have to guard a heart that’s already by your side Ari, Ari, let the old fear disappear I’m saying your name because I want you here [Outro] Ari Put the phone down Come closer
