Text Me When You Land (versie 2) – Nova Kettle

Verse

Strobe cuts blue across your collarbone

Half a smile in the smoke, then you're gone

Bassline's shaking loose change in my chest

Lost you by the speaker stack, second guess

Your hand brushed mine at the top of the drop

Didn't catch your name but I don't want it to stop

Pre-Chorus

Floor's still spinning, ceiling's caving in

Where'd you go, where'd you go, when the lights dim

Every face is yours until it isn't

Tell me this is more than just a rhythm

Chorus

Text me when you land, when you land

Somewhere on the other side of 4 a.m.

I'll be tracing static where your fingers had been

Text me when you land, when you land

Verse

Found your scarf tangled up in the coat check line

Held it like a message written just in time

Taxi lights are smearing on the windowpane

Same four streets I've walked a hundred times again

Phone's still dark, no dots, no reply

Just the hum of the after, the hush of goodbye

Pre-Chorus

Floor's still spinning, ceiling's caving in

Where'd you go, where'd you go, when the lights dim

Every face is yours until it isn't

Tell me this is more than just a rhythm

Chorus

Text me when you land, when you land

Somewhere on the other side of 4 a.m.

I'll be tracing static where your fingers had been

Text me when you land, when you land

Bridge

Maybe it's the bass talking, maybe it's true

Maybe strangers keep their promises too

One more hour, one more song, one more chance

Meet me where the daylight breaks the dance

Chorus

Text me when you land, when you land

Somewhere on the other side of 4 a.m.

I'll be tracing static where your fingers had been

Text me when you land, when you land
