Signal in the Dark
The station clock is ticking slowly
This empty platform holds our ghost
My thoughts keep drifting back to moments
What we built, what we lost
We sheltered from the storm together
The memory returns to me
Though time had blurred the picture
You were the only one I'd see
Those hidden hours we stole
Now faded like they'll never be
The station clock is ticking slowly
This empty platform holds our ghost
My thoughts keep drifting back to moments
What we built, what we lost
We sheltered from the storm together
The memory returns to me
Though time had blurred the picture
You were the only one I'd see
Those hidden hours we stole
Now faded like they'll never be
Maybe we were meant to find each other
The missing piece we both had lost
Maybe we could have stayed together
And found our way at any cost
There's so much I never told you
But silence took the words away
All the promises we should have made
Are buried underneath the gray
Like they were never there at all
The station clock is ticking slowly
This empty platform holds our ghost
My thoughts keep drifting back to moments
What we built, what we lost
We sheltered from the storm together
The memory returns to me
Though time had blurred the picture
You were the only one I'd see
Those hidden hours we stole
Now faded like they'll never be
The signal burns...
But no one comes...
Like we were never there at all...
