Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Aurora Borealis, me for her for real
It's lust, the love can't be heard above
Everyone acts like a day drinker, yeah
[PreChorus]
We eat crickets in the future
Just tastes like 'far-from-home'
Drink chicha in the jungle
That sounds great
Kinda busy, could you call back again?
I'm sure you'll come back
Till then
[Chorus]
I can't keep checking my phone, no
I can't keep checking my phone, no
I can't keep checking my phone, no
I can't keep checking my phone
[Verse 2]
We read the universe might be holographic
Traffic lights might reverse my love
Go ahead and traverse the winter, yeah
[PreChorus]
We eat crickets in the future
Just tastes like 'far-from-home'
Drink chicha in the jungle
That sounds great
Kinda busy, could you call back again?
I'm sure you'll come back
Till then
[Chorus]
I can't keep checking my phone, no
I can't keep checking my phone, no
I can't keep checking my phone, no
I can't keep checking my phone
