Lyrics
Still on the Line (For Jeannie)”
Verse 1
3 a.m., my phone lights up
Didn’t even have to explain
You read my silence in a message
Said, “Call me—I’m awake.”
I was breaking between sentences
Couldn’t find the right words to say
You let me cry through bad connections
Never once rushed me away
Pre-Chorus
No speeches, no answers
No fixing what went wrong
Just “I’m here,” on repeat
Till the hurt wasn’t so strong
Chorus
Jeannie, you were there through texts and calls
Through the nights I lost my way
Typing hearts, sending prayers
Saying “breathe” from miles away
When my world was falling apart
And I didn’t know what was true
You didn’t hang up on my pain
You stayed on the line all the way through
Verse 2
Screenshots of things I couldn’t say
Voice notes soaked in tears
You never made me feel crazy
For reliving the same fears
Even when I said “I’m fine”
You knew that wasn’t true
You called just to hear my breathing
Said, “Talk to me—I’ve got you.”
Pre-Chorus
You didn’t get tired of listening
Didn’t fade when it got hard
Jeannie, you showed me love doesn’t leave
Even when life falls apart
Chorus
Jeannie, you were there through texts and calls
When sleep wouldn’t come my way
“Still here,” “Still listening”
Every single night and day
When love felt broken and unsafe
And my heart didn’t know what to do
You didn’t hang up on my pain
You stayed on the line all the way through
Bridge
One day I won’t need the late-night talks
Or reread every thread
But I’ll always remember your name
When I whispered, “I’m not okay.”
Final Chorus
So thank you, Jeannie, for every check-in
Every “Did you make it home?”
For turning distance into comfort
For making my phone feel like home
You weren’t just there when it was easy
You stayed when it wasn’t cute
Not just a friend in my contacts
But a lifeline God used… through texts and calls
