Lyric

Map light on my knees

Backseat going west

Your street getting smaller

In the corner of the screen

Low power mode on

Still checking the view

My location keeps drifting

Like it knows I’m leaving you

I chose the route myself

I watched the line turn blue

Funny how leaving

Still feels done to you

I pinch the map out

Like distance makes sense

But my heart stays caught

At the last address

A Blue Dot Moving Away

I can see myself go

Little light on the freeway

Acting like I know

A Blue Dot Moving Away

I’m the one who left

So why does every mile

Feel like I’m being left

ETA keeps changing

Driver says nothing at all

Your name sits under my thumb

Like an unsent call

I pass a gas station

A billboard, a palm tree

All these signs keep updating

But none of them update me

Close Friends still open

I almost post the view

Then delete the whole thing

Because it still looks like you

The screen says ten minutes

Then twenty, then more

But no number explains

What I’m moving for

A Blue Dot Moving Away

I can see myself go

Little light on the freeway

Acting like I know

A Blue Dot Moving Away

I’m the one who left

So why does every mile

Feel like I’m being left

Maybe distance is honest

Maybe I wanted proof

Maybe I thought the map

Could pull me out of you

But I keep checking behind me

Like the past has live view

Like some part of my body

Is still standing near you

Your read receipt is gone

My share location’s off

But I still feel watched

By everything I lost

I don’t want to go back

I don’t want to stay

I just hate how cleanly

The screen lets me fade

A Blue Dot Moving Away

I can see myself go

Little light on the freeway

Still acting like I know

A Blue Dot Moving Away

I’m the one who left

So why does every mile

Feel like I’m being left

A Blue Dot Moving Away

Out where the night turns thin

I keep choosing distance

And carrying you with me
