Radio Waves

[Verse 1]
Misty glass is getting cold, streetlights glow in hazy lines,
City sleeps but I am awake, counting ships to pass the time.
Old school jazz is in my ears, trumpet cries its lonely song,
I am sinking to the floor, acting like I'm floating on.
Scrolling through the news again, where your face is never shown,
Coffee's cold upon the desk, I am chilling on my own.
And this beat is like a pulse, slowing down the heavy gear,
Ocean lies between us now, or maybe just a year.

[Chorus]
I have autumn in my soul, you have May within your heart,
I can't send my sorrow through the wires while we're apart.
Only this Hawaiian guitar, like a tidal wave so tall,
Washes out the shore where I let you slip and fall.
And it's so quiet...
Our bond is fading fast,
Like radio waves...
Someone else's... past.

[Verse 2]
I will leave the train tomorrow, buy a ticket to the blue,
Where the waves upon the sand trace the path I lost of you.
Every chord is like a step, walking on the ocean floor,
In the howling of the wind, I am looking for your door.
Saxophone is taking over, breaking into minor keys,
I am brewing up some tea, trying to find a bit of peace.
With myself, until the dawn, till I hit the very end,
Only this guitar string is tight enough to bend.

[Chorus]
I have autumn in my soul, you have May within your heart,
I can't send my sorrow through the wires while we're apart.
Only this Hawaiian guitar, like a tidal wave so tall,
Washes out the shore where I let you slip and fall.
And it's so quiet...
Our bond is fading fast,
Like radio waves...
Someone else's... past.

[Outro]
Bond is fading fast...
Radio waves...
In the sound of tide...
Do I... hear... you...?
