Signal on my Skin

Verse

Copper wire humming where the fence posts meet

Static buzzing on my skin where the signal's neat

Fourteen summers running till I finally found my way

Through the static to a pulse that won't fade

Porch swing creaking under weight of my frame

Grandmother telling stories, none of them were lame

She said 'hold the frequency close to your chest','Till it breaks through like thunder and never lets rest

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising off the ground

This electric hum turning circles round

Is this what they mean by 'making a name

Or is it just another static frame?

Chorus

Signal on my skin, moving closer still

We're breaking through the noise to get to where we will

Every heartbeat amplifies till the whole town shakes

I'm running with the signal that the static makes

Verse

Neon sign flickering like a pulse I know well

Bare feet burning hot against the curb's chill cell

Tape recorder buzzing on my hip tonight

Grandmother smiling loud through the long, dark light

She said 'hold onto this current till it turns to gold

And for one summer everything we're told lets go

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising off the ground

This electric hum turning circles round

Is this what they mean by 'making a name

Or is it just another static frame?

Chorus

Signal on my skin, moving closer still

We're breaking through the noise to get to where we will

Every heartbeat amplifies till the whole town shakes

I'm running with the signal that the static makes

Bridge

Someday this current runs through every door

Someday it's not just static anymore

But right now I want you close as this hum can go

Right now nothing else matters, only this glow

Chorus

Signal on my skin, moving closer still

We're breaking through the noise to get to where we will

Every heartbeat amplifies till the whole town shakes

I'm running with the signal that the static makes
