Lyric

I left class with a shaking hand

Thumb too tired to plan

One bar left in the corner glow

I watch it sink real slow

My hoodie smells like rain and buses

Eyes feel made of dust

I keep moving, still I know

I’m fading to a low

And I feel it now

Slipping down

Same old pace

On my face

I’m barely here

Still I try

One more mile

One more night

Battery at seventeen

Battery at seventeen

My screen goes dark

My pulse goes dim

Battery at seventeen

Battery at seventeen

You fade like me

You fade like him

Mom says eat, I say I did

I’m a half-charged kid

Texts pile up like unopened rain

I don’t answer back again

At the stop, I miss my stop

Head full of static pop

Everybody moves, I stay still

Trying hard to fill

And I feel it now

Slipping down

Same old pace

On my face

I’m barely here

Still I try

One more mile

One more night

Battery at seventeen

Battery at seventeen

My screen goes dark

My pulse goes dim

Battery at seventeen

Battery at seventeen

You fade like me

You fade like him

If I plug in, will I come back?

If you call, will I react?

I’m not broken, just worn thin

Counting out the miles in my skin

Battery at seventeen

Battery at seventeen

My screen goes dark

My pulse goes dim

Battery at seventeen

Battery at seventeen

You fade like me

You fade like him
