I open my eyes, reach for the phone Not a word from you baby It don’t leave my sight since we had that fight Can’t remember but maybe I blew you up In the middle of the night again You were drinking with your friends You ignored it but you got it I get so neurotic about it baby ‘Cause I know you’re reading your phone I can’t help from going crazy Thinking you might not be all alone I wake up, I check it, I shower and I check it I feel the buzz in my truck And I almost wreck it I always got it on me Just in case you want me So, if you’re looking for my love Then light it up Every time I unlock my screen I hope I see one of them red lipstick ‘I miss you’ pictures I’m on your clock, you’re in control You want me now baby go figure My worlds at the tips of your fingers I get so neurotic about it baby ‘Cause I know you’re reading your phone I can’t help from going crazy Thinking you might not be all alone I wake up, I check it, I shower and I check it I feel the buzz in my truck And I almost wreck it I always got it on me Just in case you want me So, if you’re looking for my love Then light it up Yeah baby, then light it up I go to sleep, I check it In the middle of the night, I check it, I feel the buzz in my bed And I don’t get no rest I always got it on me Just in case you want me So, if you’re looking for my love Then light it up Yeah baby, light it up
