Trust me: most of us with smartphones have an addiction to tapping an app icon indicating awaiting messages or something. Many use a red dot with a number, indicating how many messages, etc. are waiting. In this song, it depicts a guy who opened up his mouth when he shouldn't have and is concerned about the future of a relationship. He dreads looking at what might be awaiting him on his phone. The positive element of this song is his intent on making things right if he could get one more chance.

lyrics

I was a fool again last night
How can you stand me?
Too many words were spoken
But not the ones that mattered most.

I see a message on my phone
I'm afraid to take a look.

Did I go too far this time?
Will you forgive me once again?

Thoughts spinning in my head
I didn't mean the things I said
Can I take it all back now?
I promise I'll make it up somehow.
There's a red dot on my phone
A message from you...I cannot look
Please make it go away
Can we last another day?

Should I look
Should I call
Should I send a message at all
What have I done?
What can I do?
To help me get closer to you

Thoughts spinning in my head
I didn't mean the things I said
Can I take it all back now?
I promise I'll make it up somehow.
There's a red dot on my phone
A message from you...I cannot look
Please make it go away
Can we last another day?

about

Michael Barrett Dixon Richmond, Virginia

MBD started composing music and writing songs at age 13. He refined his craft in college (two music composition degrees) and has never looked back.

Most albums blend many genres, so it is difficult to pin one on this musician. A synth is usually not far away, but MBD has dabbled in jazz, electronic, soundtrack, alternative, rock, and pop. You name it, he has probably written something in it.
