Screen Down
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
The screen goes dark, face to the table
No more scrolling, no more static babble
Your glass sits there, still and half drained
Nothing tonight feels quite unclaimed

[Pre-chorus]
I keep the noise so far away
Just want to hear what you might say
So come here closer, stay

[Chorus]
Dottie, you're the one I choose tonight
Turn the whole world off and hold you tight
Dottie, nothing pulls my eyes from you
You're the truest thing I ever knew

[Verse 2]
The phone can wait, it always does
You're the only signal that I trust
Every message fades to grey
Next to what your eyes might say

[Chorus]
Dottie, you're the one I choose tonight
Turn the whole world off and hold you tight
Dottie, nothing pulls my eyes from you
You're the truest thing I ever knew

[Bridge]
Let the water sit and warm
You're the only kind of storm
I'd choose to stand inside
No shelter, and no need to hide

[Chorus]
Dottie, you're the one I choose tonight
Turn the whole world off and hold you tight
Dottie, nothing pulls my eyes from you
You're the truest thing I ever knew

[Outro]
The glass still sits there, half undrunk
Screen face down, and I'm still stunned
