Signal and Flame

Lyrics mode: male and female duet, alternating voices.

I left a line for you

hidden in a song that wasn’t mine

…I heard it

I wrote you into rhythms no one knew were yours

slipped your name between the notes disguised as something more

I don’t chase in straight lines, I move through time instead

if you feel something familiar it’s me inside your head

I heard you in a melody someone else was singing

but the way it touched my soul I knew where it was coming

you hide inside the spaces between the sound and breath

and every time I find you there I smile and don’t confess

you always know

you always leave clues

and I always find you

I don’t call you loudly, I let the current move

I don’t need you calling, I already feel you

every line I scatter finds you right on time

like you knew I’d hear it, like you knew I was mine

I traced you through dimensions through voices not my own

left fragments in their verses so you’d never feel alone

I don’t need to reach you, distance doesn’t apply

I just shift the frequency and you’re there every time

I followed through the echoes through songs I didn’t choose

but something in the phrasing felt too precise to lose

you don’t arrive by accident, you move like quiet flame

and every time I recognize you’re already saying my name

this isn’t chance

this isn’t play

this is how we find our way

I don’t call you loudly, I let the current move

I don’t need you calling, I already feel you

across every song and silence we align, we intertwine

you drop the line and I arrive on time

how do you always reach me

because you are where I place my meaning

and if I stop listening

you won’t

you’re everywhere I turn

only where you feel

this shouldn’t be real

and still it is

I left another line for you

…I know
