Smoke signals drifting in the air (version 2)

Verse 1

Blue coil turning in the corner light

Sweat cool against the neck of night

Bass shaking gravel right beneath the floor

You step back from the kitchen door

Warm breeze through the window screen

Quiet in the space between

Pre-Chorus

Can you read the rising grey

Hear what we don't need to say

Hold still, let the low end pull

Keep the heavy rhythm full

Chorus

Smoke signals drifting in the air

Your chest moving like a quiet prayer

No words needed when the drum stays low

Smoke signals, let the body know

Verse 2

Bare heels tapping on the concrete stone

Wood grain rattling in the speaker cone

Ash falling soft on a plastic chair

Midnight settling in your braided hair

Dust on our ankles where the night gets cold

Only what the two hands hold

Pre-Chorus

Can you read the rising grey

Hear what we don't need to say

Hold still, let the low end pull

Keep the heavy rhythm full

Chorus

Smoke signals drifting in the air

Your chest moving like a quiet prayer

No words needed when the drum stays low

Smoke signals, let the body know

Bridge

No wire, no call coming through

Just the bassline holding you

Breathe in, breathe out, steady and slow

Where the smoke curls up is the place we go

Chorus

Smoke signals drifting in the air

Your chest moving like a quiet prayer

No words needed when the drum stays low

Smoke signals, let the body know
