[Verse 1: Khalid]
I feel like I'm losing you whenever I'm offline
Though I never had you, I used to pretend that you're mine
I feel like there's nothing for me here, but still, I try
I feel like there's nothing for me here, but still, I try
Bruising my finger hitting your line
If I'm holding back, I might just lose my mind (So alone)

[Chorus: Khalid & SAFE]
Keeping my phone alive (Alive)
Hoping that you call this time (Oh, I)
Thought I heard your ringing (You)
You know I hear things sometimes
Call my line, call my line
Come alive, come alive
Show me, don't pretend
Show me, don't pretend
Show me, don't pretend

[Verse 2: Khalid]
Keepin' you on my radar
Lately, you're so damn cold
You used to hold me down
You're far, so it's been a while
I still remember your voice
How you talk so soft in the morning
You're the only one I'm wanting
Love stays still and I'm frozen
But I'm opening thoughts that I keep within
I guess I gotta be a man
I tried as hard as I can

[Chorus: Khalid & SAFE]
Keeping my phone alive (You)
Hoping that you call this time
Thought I heard you ringin'
You know I hear things sometimes
Call my line, call my line
Come alive, come alive
Show me, don't pretend
Show me, don't pretend
Show me, don't pretend
Show me, don't pretend
Show me, don't pretend (Come alive, oh yeah)
Show me, don't pretend (Yeah, yeah)
Show me, don't pretend

Khalid

Born on February 11, 1998, Khalid (Full Khalid Donnel Robinson) became a prominent R&B artist from El Paso, Texas, after Kylie Jenner featured his 2016 hit “Location” on her Snapchat. Khalid’s music seemingly boosted into the mainstream, he signed to RCA Records only months after graduating high school, and he released his debut album, American Teen on March 3, 2017. The album included the two successful singles, the aforementioned “Location,” “Young Dumb & Broke,” and another single “Saved.”

On September 14, 2018, Khalid released his next project, an EP titled Suncity, in relation to El Paso’s nickname. Khalid would follow this up with his second studio album, Free Spirit, which was released on April 5, 2019.
