Fading Signal 2 5

Verse 1

Your old CB cracklin' out your name

Rust on the antenna where you used to claim

The whole world's listenin', waitin' for a call

But I just hear static and an empty hall

Barely enough signal to say hello

I've been checkin' in every day, don't you know?

You said 'keep me company till I get back home

I'm still keepin' watch on that same old road

Where the sun sets slow behind a row of trees

That's where we used to talk about our dreams

Pre-Chorus

So what does it mean when you don't come through?

Is your signal lost or are you thinkin' of me too?

I've been holdin' onto that one thin thread

Hoping someday I hear what's left unsaid

Chorus

Hold the line

Keep on holdin' mine

We'll ride these dusty miles till the signal comes through fine

Hang in there, my friend, it's waitin' for you down the line

Hold the line, don't let go, we're comin' back home

To the place where our hearts first lit up like a fire sign

Verse 2

I know that road like the lines on your face

Every mile marker and every curve in its pace

You said 'keep me company till I get back home

Well now the sun's goin' down alone

The stars are comin' out like diamonds in the dark

But it don't feel like we ever had a spark

Your last transmission, all crackly and weak

Was 'I'm almost there' — that was three days ago on the creek

I've been playin' that over like a record in my mind

Wonderin' if you'll call again before I lose your sign

Pre-Chorus

So what does it mean when you don't come through?

Is your signal lost or are you thinkin' of me too?

I've been holdin' onto that one thin thread

Hoping someday I hear what's left unsaid

Chorus

Hold the line

Keep on holdin' mine

We'll ride these dusty miles till the signal comes through fine

Hang in there, my friend, it's waitin' for you down the line

Hold the line, don't let go, we're comin' back home

To the place where our hearts first lit up like a fire sign

Bridge

I know your silence, I know your name

And every time that dial light comes on again

My heart starts beatin' twice as fast as it did before

That's how I know we're still connected somewhere down the line

Chorus

Hold the line

Keep on holdin' mine

We'll ride these dusty miles till the signal comes through fine

Hang in there, my friend, it's waitin' for you down the line

Hold the line, don't let go, we're comin' back home

To the place where our hearts first lit up like a fire sign
