Signal Fades to Gold (Version 2)

Intro

Static on the line

Signal fades to gold

Verse 1

Two a.m., I'm turning the dial slow

Past the preachers and the late-night show

Then your voice cuts through the hiss

Low and close, like a breath on my wrist

You're driving with the windows down

I can hear the city all around

Pre-Chorus

Don't hang up, don't drift off the band

Keep talking, I've got the antenna in my hand

Chorus

Signal fades to gold

Every word you say gets warm

Stay on till the static's gone

Signal fades to gold

Verse 2

Same old dial in a different year

Nothing but the hiss when I press my ear

I still know the second you would laugh

Somewhere in the static, cut in half

The edges blur, your voice gets kind

Every rough word softens in my mind

Pre-Chorus

Don't hang up, don't drift off the band

Keep talking, I've got the antenna in my hand

Chorus

Signal fades to gold

Every word you say gets warm

Stay on till the static's gone

Signal fades to gold

Bridge – half-whispered

Maybe it was static, maybe it was real

Maybe I just tuned you to the way I feel

Turn it up, turn it up, let it burn

Gold's just the color that the static turns

Final Chorus

Signal fades to gold

Every word you say gets warm

Stay on till the static's gone

Signal fades to gold

Outro

Static on the line

Signal fades to gold
