No More Standby

Track 8 of Third Choice

[ Lyrics ]

No more standby, no more standby,
I’m booked solid with me — yeah, booked solid with me.

Cleared my weekend like a clean screen,
blocked the hours where you used to squeeze in.
Typed 'busy' in the group chat—no explanation,
let the emojis fall where they may, no backtracking.
Took the ring light down from the bedroom wall,
don’t need perfect lighting just to answer your call.
Rescheduled my therapy, then booked a flight,
now my calendar’s full — and you’re not in sight.

Used to leave a gap, just in case you text,
now I’m in the back seat, living my own text.
No more 'on my way' when you change your mind —
this time, I’m the plan you won’t find.

No more standby, no more standby,
I’m booked solid with me — all week, every day.
No more standby, no — I’m not on deck,
finally chose myself, yeah, finally picked.

Posted from the rooftop, golden hour high,
no tagged location, no coded reply.
My best friend laughed, said 'you look free,'
and I didn’t flinch when your name lit the phone screen.
I’m in Costa Rica planning New Year’s too,
won’t be waiting 'til midnight to hear from you.
My love life’s private, my time’s non-negotiable,
and my peace? Priceless — it’s non-refundable.

Left the door unlocked once, thought you’d walk through,
now I’m the one leaving — and I know it’s true.
No more soft 'okay, I understand' —
just a silent 'next' as I take my stand.

No more standby, no more standby,
I’m booked solid with me — all week, every day.
No more standby, no — I’m not on deck,
finally chose myself, yeah, finally picked.

I used to orbit your mood, your plans, your lies,
now my gravity’s mine — I rise, I rise.
No emergency, no 'it’s you I trust' —
just me in the mirror, saying 'we’re enough.'

No more standby, no more standby,
I’m booked solid with me — all week, every day.
No more standby, no — I’m not on deck,
finally chose myself, yeah, finally picked.
Booked solid — with me — 
No more standby… 

 booked solid.
 With me.
