First UFO

[Intro] Signals in the static, whispers in the wire A million miles of silence catching fire Something's calling from the great unknown A voice that's nothing like our own [Verse 1] I picked up frequencies at three a.m. A pattern breaking through the stratosphere Not random noise, not cosmic accident A message someone wanted us to hear My hands were shaking on the dial Every heartbeat pounding in my chest Is this the moment we've been waiting for Or the beginning of a final test? [Drop] Can you hear me? Can you hear me now? Through the void and through the doubt somehow.... [Pre-Chorus] What if the words don't mean the same What if the silence is a game What if they're asking who we are From a burning distant star [Chorus] Hello from the other side of forever Are you friend or are you danger in disguise Hello across the great unknown together I see the question burning in your eyes We're reaching through the dark Two strangers in the stars Trying to find a common language of the heart [Drop] Through the void and through the doubt somehow [Verse 2] I sent a signal back into the night A simple pattern, mathematical and true Prime numbers, pictures of our world Hoping they could see the way we do The answer came in colors I can't name In harmonies that rearranged my mind They asked me questions I have never asked About the things we leave behind [Chorus] Hello from the other side of forever Are you friend or are you danger in disguise Hello across the great unknown together I see the question burning in your eyes We're reaching through the dark Two strangers in the stars Trying to find a common language of the heart [Post-Chorus] Is anybody out there Is anybody home Is anybody out there Or are we all alone [Breakdown] Terrified and mesmerized By everything we don't know What if the answer changes everything What if we're better off alone But still I keep on listening Still I keep on reaching out Because the need to make connection Is what being human is about [Bridge] Maybe they're afraid like me Maybe they don't understand Maybe every word we send Is a trembling open hand Maybe distance doesn't matter When the longing is the same Maybe we're just lonely travelers Calling out each other's names [Chorus] Hello from the other side of forever Are you friend or are you danger in disguise Hello across the great unknown together I see the question burning in your eyes We're reaching through the dark Two strangers in the stars Trying to find a common language of the heart [Outro] Can you hear me Through the void Through the doubt somehow Can you hear me now I'm still listening
