Lines got Crossed
technopop Hardcore punk. Distorted electric guitar plays a rapid, palm-muted down-stroked riff in E minor. The bass guitar follows the root notes with a heavy, overdriven tone. Drums feature a high-tempo d-beat pattern with a sharp, high-pitched snare and constant eighth-note hi-hat hits. The tempo is 180 BPM. Vocals are shouted with a gritty, aggressive delivery and minimal melodic variation. The production is raw with high-frequency emphasis on the cymbals and a mid-forward guitar mix., technopop

Lyrics
Verse 1
I hit send at midnight,
you woke up at two
Half asleep,
half dreaming,
didn’t know it was you
but the lines got crossed
Turned a simple “hey”
Spoken (Text bubbles)
“hey… you up?”
“…why?”
“nothing, just thinking about you”
“at 2am? that’s random.”
Pre-Chorus
I meant it light,
you took it deep
Now there’s silence
where we used to speak
If you message the wrong way,
read it the wrong time
Even good intentions turn into bad signs
One little sentence, now we’re worlds apart
Funny how a moment can rewrite a heart
If timing’s a thief and words fall out of tune
We’re just two good people in the wrong afternoon
Chorus
Say
Say it again
between the lines
Try not to look into the future
wrong step dancing with bad timing
We’re just two good people in the wrong afternoon
What if you read the message
the wrong way?
What if you read the message
the wrong way?
What if you read the message
the wrong way?
Verse 2
You saw cold where I meant calm
Heard distance when I meant “stay on”
Autocorrect feelings, but it changed the tone
Now we’re both here scrolling, feeling alone
Spoken (Argument building)
“you’ve been distant lately.”
“what? no I haven’t.”
“you literally just said ‘nothing’…”
“yeah, nothing BAD. you’re reading it wrong.”
“or you’re saying it wrong.”
Pre-Chorus
I’d take it back, rewrite that line
But you can’t unsend what’s in your mind
Even good intentions
turn into bad signs
One little sentence,
now we’re worlds apart
Funny how a moment
can rewrite a heart
Chorus
Say
Say it again
between the lines
Try not to look into the future
wrong step dancing with bad timing
We’re just two good people in the wrong afternoon
What if you read the message
the wrong way?
What if you read the message
the wrong way?
What if you read the message
the wrong way?
Bridge
Maybe in another hour,
another day
You’d hear my voice
the way I meant to say
Spoken (Breakdown)
“so what are you saying?”
“…I don’t even know anymore.”
“right.”
“right.”
Break
…now I’m staring at the typing dots that fade
Every word I didn’t say
Love can get lost in a thin blue line
We were so close,
now we’re misaligned
If I could rewind to a better tune
We’d still be us in the right afternoon
Chorus
Say
Say it again
between the lines
Try not to look into the future
wrong step dancing with bad timing
We’re just two good people in the wrong afternoon
What if you read the message
the wrong way?
What if you read the message
the wrong way?
What if you read the message
the wrong way?
Outro
Spoken (Soft, unresolved)
“hey…”
“…yeah?”
“never mind.”
So next time I’ll wait… or I’ll say it out loud
Cause silence hits
different in a digital crowd
