Lyrics

Verse 1

Dry pine catches in the iron drum

Dusk settles low with the bassline hum

Dust on your knuckles, heat on your face

Nobody speaking in this open space

Your palm brushes on my shoulder bone

We let the heavy rhythm guide us home

Pre-Chorus

Watch it drift, watch it rise

Sunset fading from your eyes

Feel the weight in the floor

We don't need to ask for more

Chorus

Smoke signals rising between us

Thick in the amber air

Smoke signals rising between us

Leaving our shadows there

You step, I step along

Nothing to say out loud

Smoke signals rising between us

Lost in the rolling sound

Verse 2

Coals burn quiet by the garden wall

Chest to chest as the low notes fall

Bare feet tracing out a steady line

Your ribs breathing right in time with mine

Cool wind stirring up the lazy spark

Two shapes drifting in the early dark

Pre-Chorus

Watch it drift, watch it rise

Sunset fading from your eyes

Feel the weight in the floor

We don't need to ask for more

Chorus

Smoke signals rising between us

Thick in the amber air

Smoke signals rising between us

Leaving our shadows there

You step, I step along

Nothing to say out loud

Smoke signals rising between us

Lost in the rolling sound

Bridge

Ash falls soft upon the stone

Bassline shaking in the bone

No more fire, just the heat

Held inside the heavy beat

Chorus

Smoke signals rising between us

Thick in the amber air

Smoke signals rising between us

Leaving our shadows there

You step, I step along

Nothing to say out loud

Smoke signals rising between us

Lost in the rolling sound
