Half Past Nobody

[Intro]

[soft pipa plucks fading into filtered trap-soul beat]

Half past nobody

Blue screen glow on me

[Verse 1]

Another message

I type then wipe it clean

Scrolling circles

Same three faces on my screen

Empty instant noodles

Steam like ghosts above the sink

I pour hot water

Just to watch it blink

[Pre-Chorus]

I talk to the ceiling, it don't talk back

Heart in airplane mode, still off track

All these little windows, never let you in

I replay your voice like a tiny sin

[Chorus]

I’m alone at 3am, but I pretend I’m busy

Tell the world “I’m fine”, but the echo sounds dizzy

Half past nobody, quarter to a breakdown

If you called right now, I’d turn the whole night down

I’m alone at 3am, watching my own shadow

Every little heartbeat asking, “do you still care though?”

Half past nobody, waiting on a missed call

Talking to the dark, leaning on a white wall (oh)

[Verse 2]

[beat pulls back, Mandarin whisper close to mic]

深夜的房间

空气都在叹气

刷着你的照片

好久没有更新

朋友圈的热闹

跟我一点没关系

只剩手机电量

陪我慢慢过去

[Pre-Chorus]

I laugh at myself, it don’t sound right

Cup ring halo on the desk all night

Every unread bubble feels like proof

世界这么大 你不在这屋

[Chorus]

I’m alone at 3am, but I pretend I’m busy

Tell the world “I’m fine”, but the echo sounds dizzy

Half past nobody, quarter to a breakdown

If you called right now, I’d turn the whole night down

I’m alone at 3am, watching my own shadow

Every little heartbeat asking, “do you still care though?”

Half past nobody, waiting on a missed call

Talking to the dark, leaning on a white wall

[Bridge]

你还会失眠吗

Do you still lose sleep

还是早就学会

Then I wipe it back

[Chorus]

I’m alone at 3am, but I pretend I’m busy

Tell the world “I’m fine”, but the echo sounds dizzy

Half past nobody, quarter to a breakdown

If you called right now, I’d turn the whole night down

I’m alone at 3am, watching my own shadow

Every little heartbeat asking, “do you still care though?”

Half past nobody, fading like a missed call

Talking to the dark, writing your name small

[Outro]

[pipa harmonics and detuned Wurlitzer drift into silence]

Half past nobody

But I still wait

For you to prove me wrong
