"Dial-Up"

We've
Got a bad
Connection
So like a Youtube video
I'll pause and wait for you
To catch up
To me
I'll close the other tabs
If that's what it takes
To keep this thing running

Now we're up to speed
But oh, don't lower
The quality
Don't compromise clarity
Keep it at 1080p
So we can see things clearly

All these 1's and 0's
Numbers I could dial up
So we could stop
Speaking in binary
Tests and trials of
Long suffering
But it seems we're always buffering
Oh, it seems we're always buffering

We're
Both
Straddling the line
We're either on or off
The connection's
Never good enough
So we give each other signals
And frequent bars
Hoping that a satellite can save us
