Do Not Disturb

Half past one, I'm done, I swear,
turned on the little moon up there.
Muted the group chat, muted my friends,
muted every "you okay?" that never ends.
But down in Settings there's a list of who
still gets through the moon, and it's only you.

Let 'em knock, let 'em wait,
let 'em say it's way too late,
there's one name that can break through,
and I made sure it's you.

I put the whole world on Do Not Disturb,
every buzz, every bell, every word,
but I left a little door for you,
do not disturb, but you still do.
Yeah, it's two a.m., and the house is still,
I could sleep tonight, I swear I will,
but I'm wide awake, and I know it's true:
do not disturb, but you still do.

I changed your name to "Don't," just so
I'd see it every time and let you go.
But "Don't" is still the only one allowed,
and "Don't" could make this quiet room so loud.

Let 'em knock, let 'em wait,
let 'em say it's way too late,
there's one name that can break through,
and I made sure it's you.

I put the whole world on Do Not Disturb,
every buzz, every bell, every word,
but I left a little door for you,
do not disturb, but you still do.
Yeah, it's two a.m., and the house is still,
I could sleep tonight, I swear I will,
but I'm wide awake, and I know it's true:
do not disturb, but you still do.

I can turn off the sound, I can turn off the screen,
but there's no switch for you, no in-between,
no moon for my heart, no "silence all,"
it still lights up every time you don't call.

I put the whole world on Do Not Disturb,
every buzz, every bell, every word,
but I left a little door for you,
do not disturb, but you still do.
So tonight I took you off the list,
and I'm still here, I still exist,
and for once I'm not waiting for you:
do not disturb. And this time, I do.

Little moon on my screen...
goodnight.
