Put Down Your Phone
Travis Garland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something fucking crazy
We could pretend like it's the 80โฒs
And put that thing down
It's been some time baby
Trust me there ain't
Nothing more important than you
With nothing on, nothing on
Nothing on, baby
So can we post up
Just talk on our own
Get some Facetime
I smoke you out
Take you down
On the late nights I
Thereโฒs nowhere else I want to be
So put down your phone
Everytime weโฒre alone
I ain't taking in the moments
Donโฒt need distraction
Lost all my attraction, babe
So put down your phone
Everytime we're alone
Stay with me in the moment
Itโฒs you and me girl
Everything you need is right here
I've been tryna get up on your good side
Your good side, girl
Every side is your good side
Taking pictures for some people
You donโฒt care about
And your feelings, air 'em out
Talking on your name you're like
Go on, bitch, wear it out
I can tell youโฒre different cause you donโฒt
Even care about how much I'm spending
Just want me to pay you all of my attention
Thatโฒs what you deserve babe
I wanna give it to you
In the worst way
So can we post up
Just talk on our own
Get some Facetime
I smoke you out
Take you down
On the late nights I
There's nowhere else I want to be
So put down your phone
Everytime weโฒre alone
I ain't taking in the moments
Donโฒt need distraction
Lost all of my attraction, babe
So put down your phone
Everytime we're alone
Stay with me in the moment
It's you and me girl
Everything you need is right here
So relax, just sit back
Turn off your location
Now, pullinโฒ up
I ainโฒt gonna keep you waiting
Nah nah
Oh nah nah
Really I only have this one request
When you and me
Please don't be somewhere else
I want you to myself
In "Put Down Your Phone," Travis Garland is reminiscing about simpler times before modern technology had such a hold on us. He implores the listener to put down their phone and be present in the moment with him. The lyrics suggest leaving distractions behind and relishing time spent together. Garland paints an intimate picture of being together with nothing on, highlighting the desire to connect with one another on a deeper level. He also touches on the idea of social media, with lines about taking pictures for people you don't care about and airing out your feelings online.
Garland's use of the phrase "Facetime" is particularly notable since it's a play on words that can mean both seeing someone face-to-face or using the popular Apple video calling app. Additionally, in the chorus, the line "Lost all my attraction, babe" could be interpreted in multiple ways. It could suggest that the singer is losing interest in their partner because they are always on their phone. Or it could have a more literal interpretation, meaning that the partner is less attractive when they're glued to their phone.
Interestingly, "Put Down Your Phone" is from Garland's 2013 EP, "Fashionably Late II," long before the current anti-phone movement. However, the track's relevance has only increased over time with widespread concerns about phone addiction and the detrimental effect it can have on personal relationships. Overall, the song is an anthem for those wishing to escape digital distractions and focus on what's really important.

Tonight let's do
Something fucking crazy
We could pretend like it's the 80โฒs
And put that thing down
It's been some time baby
Let's do something out of the ordinary tonight by pretending like we're living in the 80s and disconnecting from our phones. It's been a while since we've done this together.
Trust me there ain't
Nothing more important than you
Standing in the doorway
With nothing on, nothing on
Nothing on, baby
You are the most important thing to me, even more important than your physical appearance. I love seeing you standing in the doorway with no distractions like your phone or clothes.
So can we post up
Just talk on our own
Get some Facetime
I smoke you out
Take you down
On the late nights I
Thereโฒs nowhere else I want to be
Let's spend some quality time together, without any distractions. We can even have a conversation and smoke some weed. I only want to be with you on those late nights.
So put down your phone
Everytime weโฒre alone
I ain't taking in the moments
Donโฒt need distraction
Lost all my attraction, babe
Please put your phone down when we're together so we can fully appreciate and be present in the moment. I don't want any distractions to ruin our time together.
So put down your phone
Everytime we're alone
Stay with me in the moment
Itโฒs you and me girl
Everything you need is right here
Again, I'm asking you to put your phone down every time we're alone so we can stay in the moment and enjoy each other's company. Everything you need is right here with me, you don't need to be scrolling through social media or checking your messages.
I've been tryna get up on your good side
Your good side, girl
Every side is your good side
Taking pictures for some people
You donโฒt care about
And your feelings, air 'em out
Talking on your name you're like
Go on, bitch, wear it out
I've been trying to make you happy by taking pictures of you, but I've realized that I love every side of you, not just your 'good side' for social media. You shouldn't waste your time trying to impress people who don't matter, and you're confident enough to brush off any rumors or gossip.
I can tell youโฒre different cause you donโฒt
Even care about how much I'm spending
Just want me to pay you all of my attention
Thatโฒs what you deserve babe
I wanna give it to you
In the worst way
I can tell that you're different from other people because you don't care about how much money I'm spending on you, you just want my undivided attention. That's what you deserve, and I want to give it to you in every way possible.
So relax, just sit back
Turn off your location
Now, pullinโฒ up
I ainโฒt gonna keep you waiting
Nah nah
Oh nah nah
Just relax and turn off your location so we can have some privacy. I'm on my way to meet you and I won't keep you waiting.
Really I only have this one request
When you and me
Please don't be somewhere else
I want you to myself
I only have one request when it comes to us spending time together - please don't be distracted or somewhere else. I want your undivided attention all to myself.

A Little Poem for this song
The glint of sunset
Comes through the window
Pasted on the wall
A warm orangey filter
And there you are
Naked on the bed
Beautifully sunkissed
Just like a statue
Stuck in the ordinary world
From a faraway land of fairytale
Here you are with me
A nymph by my side
