### Lyrics

#### Transcription

[Intro]\*

I wish that every red circle was you

They still make my heart beat faster, it's never you

All that time in my mind spent waiting for replies

Red circles, red circles, red circles in my eyes

[Verse 1]

Heart attack every time someone else has the ringtone I gave you

Can't relax, every notification is giving me flashbacks

Part of me still believes that i might still get a callback, callback, call- callback

Never thought I would be such a mess

For a text that I'm never gonna get

[Pre-Chorus]

I wish that every red circle was you

They still make my heart beat faster, it's never you

All that time in my mind spent waiting for replies

Red circles, red circles, red circles in my eyes

[Chorus]

Red circles, red circles, red circles in my eyes

Red circles, red circles, red circles in my eyes

Red circles, red circles, red circles in my eyes

[Verse 2]

Never been weak enough to go back

And start scrollin' through our convos

But I just can't seem to delete them

I mean like, why though?

Kinda funny, kinda sad

I used to say maybe he just texts slow

You know it really wouldn't kill you to be like,

"No".

[Pre-Chorus]

I wish that every red circle was you

They still make my heart beat faster, it's never you

All that time in my mind spent waiting for replies

Red circles, red circles, red circles in my eyes

[Chorus]

Red circles, red circles, red circles in my eyes

Red circles, red circles, red circles in my eyes

Red circles, red circles, red circles in my eyes

[Bridge]

Red circles, blue circles, orange circles, green circles

Red circles, blue circles, orange circles, green circles

[Pre-Chorus]

I wish that every red circle was you

They still make my heart beat faster, it's never you

All that time in my mind spent waiting for replies

Red circles, red circles, red circles in my eyes

[Chorus]

Red circles, red circles, red circles in my eyes

Red circles, red circles, red circles in my eyes

Red circles, red circles, red circles in my eyes
