"Initially I began writing the lyrics as a gentle admonishment of one of my friends for only writing to me when they were feeling low. I then go on to deride my own online behaviour; flirting with people online out of boredom or when my relationship with my significant other was unstable. The third verse came after a close friend suffered a death in their family and shortly after moved to another town; it expresses my wish that they would seek me out for comfort.
What starts as quite a pessimistic look at online communication ends with a more hopeful slant; the emotional shift in the final verse is reflected in a more sentimental chord progression. The final chorus modulates upward in a celebration of our drive for human connection."
