Lyrics
June of '17, the heat stuck to the linoleum floor.
My old flip phone glowed on the counter, a little blue star.
Forgot it was even there 'til I heard your voice cut through the static.
Seven years I've kept it charged, a devout and quiet habit.
[Chorus]
I keep your voice on a digital altar.
Never knew a password could feel like holy water.

Never knew a password could feel like holy water.
Just that one saved message I play back and replay.
Eres la única raíz that taught me how to break away.

Didn't know I was the root system I had to prune to let the sun come down.
[Outro]
Pressing seven on the keypad.
Just to hear you again.
