Fading Signal on the Wire 2 (versione 2)

Verse

Cigarette smoke off the dashboard heat

Parked outside your apartment window two blocks down

I hum a song I learned as a kid

The one that says goodbye before you're gone

Your porch light flickers like it always does

When we talked 'bout leaving, I thought it was us

Now the radio cuts in and out of signal time

I'm not sure which road this is or where I come from

Pre-Chorus

Hold on to something that you can't lose

Is this my fault or just a ghost?

Every window counts, every light turned off

Where was the spark that made it worth it then?

Chorus

Fading signal on the wire

Can I get loud enough to hear your voice in here

Fading signal on the wire

Hold on tight and let's turn this static into a sound

I'll sing it like a prayer, I'll shout it down below

If you're still listening somewhere, don't let me go

Verse

Dusty mirror on my dashboard shows a face

You said we'd chase the sunrise to a place that's not a name

Your laugh is frozen in this tape I found

I've been rewinding it for months now

The streetlights are coming up behind you

Is that just the traffic or your heart leaving too?

Pre-Chorus

Hold on to something that you can't lose

Is this my fault or just a ghost?

Every window counts, every light turned off

Where was the spark that made it worth it then?

Chorus

Fading signal on the wire

Can I get loud enough to hear your voice in here

Fading signal on the wire

Hold on tight and let's turn this static into a sound

I'll sing it like a prayer, I'll shout it down below

If you're still listening somewhere, don't let me go

Bridge

Maybe distance just makes things fade to gold

And maybe that's what we both wanted in the end

This could be the long goodbye that keeps us whole

Or maybe this is how we lose our friends

Hold on tight and hold it till it breaks through

Let me sing myself into your frequency

I'm still listening, I'm still turning up the dial for you

Because if there's even a whisper left of what we had

I want to chase that signal down to the last mile

Chorus

Fading signal on the wire

Can I get loud enough to hear your voice in here

Fading signal on the wire

Hold on tight and let's turn this static into a sound

I'll sing it like a prayer, I'll shout it down below

If you're still listening somewhere, don't let me go

Outro

Every window counts, every light turned off

I'm still singing for the ghost in your apartment off

I won't give up till I hear something real

Fading signal on the wire...
