Fjord signal, cutting through the haze (Version 2)

Verse

Diesel and pine smoke down the quay

Seventeen, engine cold beneath my knee

You lit the flare gun just to watch it climb

Granite cliffs turned gold that time

Water black as the hour got late

We carved our names into the boat crate

Northern light too proud to fully die

Summer wouldn't blink, and neither would I

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it echo off the stone

Something calling us back home

Static rising where the current bends

Chorus

Fjord signal, cutting through the haze

Fjord signal, burning off the gray

Young and reckless, salt in our veins

This is the sound that still remains

Fjord signal, calling out my name

Fjord signal, nothing feels the same

We were thunder, we were flame

Fjord signal, calling out my name

Verse

Bonfire sparks against the pale sky

Your boots kicked off, don't ask me why

We dove where the water turns to ink

Held our breath longer than we think

Someone's radio crackled through the dark

Old transmitter, dying spark

We rode it home on empty tanks

Nothing owed and nothing to thank

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it echo off the stone

Something calling us back home

Static rising where the current bends

Chorus

Fjord signal, cutting through the haze

Fjord signal, burning off the gray

Young and reckless, salt in our veins

This is the sound that still remains

Fjord signal, calling out my name

Fjord signal, nothing feels the same

We were thunder, we were flame

Fjord signal, calling out my name

Bridge

Years now, and the flare gun's rust

Boat's long gone, so is the dust

But some nights the deep still hums

Some frequency that never runs

Chorus

Fjord signal, cutting through the haze

Fjord signal, burning off the gray

Young and reckless, salt in our veins

This is the sound that still remains

Fjord signal, calling out my name

Fjord signal, nothing feels the same

We were thunder, we were flame

Fjord signal, calling out my name
