Past tense (snippet) lyrics

I could use a call as an old friend
The sky was on the floor
Couldn't see no end (end)
You said "where you been?"
I said "nowhere."
Wish I could disappear like the ocean
Now I hate you were out
Answered no texts
But when I close my eyes you move closer
I'm tryna figure out where the hope went
Don't wanna talk about it in the past tense
