Talking louder than a telephone lyrics
Verse
Booth light bleeding red on the floor
Bass hits low through the amber door
You don't turn, you just lift your chin
Shoulder catching where the light comes in
Dust hangs thick in the copper glow
Your collarbone keeping time real slow
Pre-Chorus
I don't ask you where the rhythm goes
I just watch it move under your clothes
Skin remembers what the words forget
Every pulse is a language yet
Chorus
Red light on your collarbone
Talking louder than a telephone
Skin knows the beat before I do
Red light on your collarbone
Red light on your collarbone
Verse
Smoke curls thin where the speaker leans
Floor still shaking from the in-between
Your hand finds mine without a sound
Feet already know the common ground
Room gone quiet but the low end stays
Written soft in a hundred ways
Pre-Chorus
I don't ask you where the rhythm goes
I just watch it move under your clothes
Skin remembers what the words forget
Every pulse is a language yet
Chorus
Red light on your collarbone
Talking louder than a telephone
Skin knows the beat before I do
Red light on your collarbone
Red light on your collarbone
Bridge
No need to raise your voice above the sound
Let the bassline settle, let it lay you down
Every shiver is a signal sent
No translation, no accident
Chorus
Red light on your collarbone
Talking louder than a telephone
Skin knows the beat before I do
Red light on your collarbone
Red light on your collarbone
