Lyrics

[Intro] (soft electric piano, a phone buzz in the distance) [Verse 1] Sitting on the sofa with the telly turned down low Scrolling past the faces of the people that I know I keep thinking they are busy, that they've got their own stuff on But the silence getting louder tells me I've been quiet too long [Pre-Chorus] My thumb is hovering over your name Maybe you're feeling the same [Chorus] So I'll text a friend, just a simple hey How's your week been, how's your day It doesn't have to be a big long chat Just a little wave that says I'm here, that's that Text a friend, let the light come through Maybe they've been missing me too One small message, sent with care Reminds us both that someone's there [Verse 2] You wrote back in a minute with a laughing face or two Said you'd had a funny Monday and you'd thought of me there too We're talking about a coffee, maybe Saturday at ten It's funny how a little word can bring you back again [Pre-Chorus] I almost didn't press send Glad that I did, my friend [Chorus] So I'll text a friend, just a simple hey How's your week been, how's your day It doesn't have to be a big long chat Just a little wave that says I'm here, that's that Text a friend, let the light come through Maybe they've been missing me too One small message, sent with care Reminds us both that someone's there [Bridge] If they don't answer straight away It's alright, it's just a busy day I'll try someone else, or try again There's always room to reach a friend [Final Chorus] So I'll text a friend, just a simple hey Maybe it'll brighten up their day One small message, sent with care Reminds us both that someone's there [Outro] (piano fades) Someone's there
