I sit in my car outside restaurants and bars
Reading about what's inside
I look up opinions about news and religion
So I don't have to use my own mind
I should call my friends
But I read their posts instead
Like dancing a waltz with no partner
Nobody's holding your hand
Like singing duets as a solo
The harmony's just in your head
It's almost as if I have been everywhere
Almost tasted the food, almost breathed in the air
But nobody's heart ever pounded
From that feeling of being surrounded
By pictures of mountains

People are messy and life can get heavy
It's easier to keep it online
Like checking the weather to see if it's better
Instead of just going outside
Pretend I'm unaware
But the truth is that I'm scared
Like dancing a waltz with no partner
Nobody's holding your hand
Like singing duets as a solo
The harmony's just in your head
It's almost as if I have been everywhere
Almost tasted the food, almost breathed in the air
But nobody's heart ever pounded
From that feeling of being surrounded
By pictures of mountains

Everyone's right here on my phone
So why do I still feel so alone?
A waltz with no partner
Nobody's holding your hand
A duet's just a solo
If the harmony's all in your head
I thought that I knew what a mountain was like
'Til I stood in the valley and looked up at the sky
And I felt my heart beating faster
That feeling I'd been chasing after
Is something that no one can capture
In pictures of mountains
