Lyric

I held the phone up high

Put my hair behind my ear

Made the room look still

So you'd feel near

The screen knew my face

Every blink, every flaw

But you were off frame

And that was the part I saw

I kept turning left

Kept turning right

Like you might slip in

If I got it right

The front camera missed you

Missed you in the light

The front camera missed you

Even when I tried

Your place stayed empty

Right beside my face

I want to be seen

With you in the frame

I watched my own mouth move

Saying things to air

Then I smiled too long

Just to prove you were there

But the lens only kept

What it could hold

A face on a screen

And a story half told

I kept turning left

Kept turning right

Like you might slip in

If I got it right

The front camera missed you

Missed you in the light

The front camera missed you

Even when I tried

Your place stayed empty

Right beside my face

I want to be seen

With you in the frame

If you were here now

I wouldn't pose so hard

I would let my hands fall

I would let down my guard

No perfect angle

No careful plan

Just look at me once

And take my hand

The front camera missed you

Missed you in the light

The front camera missed you

Even when I tried

Your place stayed empty

Right beside my face

I want to be seen

With you in the frame

The front camera missed you

Missed you, but I knew

All I wanted

Was to be seen by you
