Signal from across the lake (version 2)

Verse 1

Every window glows with firelight

A million hands holding something tight

You stand alone where the shore drops off

Signal cuts through all this static and noise

I'm trying to find the way back inside the light

But every time I turn around you're there

One little flash, nothing more than air

And somehow I know it's not just a spark

It's an invitation, across the water and dark

Pre-Chorus

Is this a mistake or is it something real?

Tell me if I'm hearing what I feel

If every other light in town goes out

I want you to be the one who glows the same again

Chorus

Signal from across the lake, breaking through

Every star and every shadow's still not true

Till your signal cuts a hole right through

I see what's real when I'm seeing you

Verse 2

Your city lights up like a million suns

Mine is one small lantern where the day goes down

If this is just a trick of the light, then please make it last

Cause every time our signals touch at all, it's like that

I could swear the whole sky is bending in to watch us try

Pre-Chorus

Is this a mistake or is it something real?

Tell me if I'm hearing what I feel

If every other light in town goes out

I want you to be the one who glows the same again

Chorus

Signal from across the lake, breaking through

Every star and every shadow's still not true

Till your signal cuts a hole right through

I see what's real when I'm seeing you

Bridge

Maybe it doesn't matter if the lights stay on

If we're just two lanterns shining all alone

So let's make our own glow instead of waiting for the rest

Hold my light up to yours and watch us shine

Chorus

Signal from across the lake, breaking through

Every star and every shadow's still not true

Till your signal cuts a hole right through

I see what's real when I'm seeing you
