Fading Signal (versione 2)

Verse

Two hands on the back of the leather seat

Your fingers tracing where mine used to be

Static coming through the radio speakers

We're still parked in the same place we were last year

You say the sun's up now and it's almost morning

I keep my eyes on yours and pretend that it isn't

Every light along this street is turning green

Pre-Chorus

And I know what comes after these long drives home

Something that feels like a goodbye in every tone

But you're still holding onto the back of my neck

And I'm not ready yet to let go and step out of the wreck

I don't want this to be just another memory

A ghost signal on a fading radio frequency

Chorus

Keep me on this dying wave

Don't let it break before you say

One more word, one more mile

Just hold my hand through this fading light

Verse 2

You pull the lever on your sunroof and the sky comes in

Stars bleeding pink behind a line of cloud like an old film

We're not talking about where we're going or what it means

Just the way the dust is moving in the beam of your headlights' gleam

I think I know this night, I think I know your smile

But something tells me I'm still just on the other side

Of all the lines that you haven't drawn yet

And I don't want to be left behind

Pre-Chorus

So hold onto this and let it go slow

Don't make this one more thing that we're going to have to throw away

Just keep me here, right on this edge of town

Where the world is still a little bit turned around

Chorus

Keep me on this dying wave

Don't let it break before you say

One more word, one more mile

Just hold my hand through this fading light

Bridge

Maybe we don't need a map or an exit sign

Maybe I just want to stay here where the stars are still aligned

I know that every night is different from the last

But right now nothing else exists at all

So let's pretend that we're not running out of time

Let's pretend that this one fading signal still has room to climb

Chorus

Keep me on this dying wave

Don't let it break before you say

One more word, one more mile

Just hold my hand through this fading light
