Tidal Wave
(Verse 1)Cold glass presses against the screen.Brooklyn breathing in blue and green.Two AM on a Thursday night.Static floating in artificial light.Chasing a ghost that I used to know.Watching the battery drop down low.Your last text is a year old now.I still try to reply somehow.(Verse 2)Footsteps echo on wet concrete.Shadows dancing across the street.Telling myself that I’m doing fine.Crossing over the county line.Memory bleeds through a broken speaker.The signal gets closer, the heart gets weaker.Tires humming on the asphalt track.Knowing damn well that I can't go back.(Chorus)We are just signals in the dark.Waiting for a random spark.Lost inside the digital rain.Clicking refresh to numb the pain.Oh, keep the headlights on.We’ll be gone before the dawn.Yeah, we sink or we swim.As the neon lights grow dim.(Verse 3)Subway grating blows warm, stale air.Fogging up the glasses that I wear.Storefront windows show a hollow face.Just another stranger in a crowded space.Found an old receipt in my denim coat.With a messy line that you once wrote.Now the ink is fading into gray.Like the words we never got to say.(Bridge)And the bass drops low in a distant club.While I’m drowning out in a lonely pub.Can you hear the frequency start to shift?Are we letting everything spin and drift?I am shouting into an empty phone.In a city of millions, completely alone.Pull the plug or tighten the wire.We burned it all in a silent fire.(Chorus)We are just signals in the dark.Waiting for a random spark.Lost inside the digital rain.Clicking refresh to numb the pain.Oh, keep the headlights on.We’ll be gone before the dawn.Yeah, we sink or we swim.As the neon lights grow dim.(Outro)Fade out.Turn the volume down.Silence fills this empty town.Just a signal.Static on the radio.Let it go.Let it go.Lost.
