The Distance Is a Light (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse 1

Four a.m., streetlight bleeding through the grate

Your voice was static in the receiver's state

Fifteen hundred kilometers of wire and stone

I'm holding tight to something that I've never known

You said stay tuned for more, but I could feel it fade

The signal dying like an ember turned to shade

Pre-Chorus

Hold on a little longer, don't let go yet

Let the static find us where the line is set

Chorus

The distance is a light that cuts right through

And in its frequency I hear me and you

I'm running out of signal but I won't break

I'll hold this pulse until we're both awake

Verse 2

Your voice was coming up through static and rain

A tiny piece of something that refused to wane

Every drop was a mile, every mile a year

But in the crackle there, I still hear you clear

The line is dropping now, but I won't give it back

This one small frequency where nothing's turned black

Pre-Chorus

Hold on a little longer, don't let go yet

Let the static find us where the line is set

Chorus

The distance is a light that cuts right through

And in its frequency I hear me and you

I'm running out of signal but I won't break

I'll hold this pulse until we're both awake

Bridge

Maybe the line will break before it ends

But what's left inside me now will never fade away

So keep your voice low, don't give up yet

In here we've found a place where distance is not set

Chorus

The distance is a light that cuts right through

And in its frequency I hear me and you

I'm running out of signal but I won't break

I'll hold this pulse until we're both awake
