Who we are

[Verse 1] Static whispers through the dial, a midnight frequency I traced the constellations till they rearranged for me The radio was humming like a heart beneath the floor And something in the silence answered back with something more I saw the lights above the pines, they didn't blink or fade They hung like patient questions in the dark that I had made My name was just a ripple in the ocean of the stars But they called me through the frequencies and knew me for who we are [Chorus] And I hear you in the static, I feel you in the glow A language made of lightning that the human heart can know We are echoes, we are signals, we are dust that learned to sing And the cosmos leans in closer when two strangers start to ring [Verse 2] They didn't speak in syllables, they painted in my mind A map of every ending and the mercy left behind They showed me worlds where oceans burn and skies are made of glass And a garden where the silence grows a music that will last I sent them back a heartbeat and the smell of morning rain The way a mother hums a song to soothe a child's pain I gave them all my questions, they returned them as a key And the lock was just the distance between you and me [Chorus] And I hear you in the static, I feel you in the glow A language made of lightning that the human heart can know We are echoes, we are signals, we are dust that learned to sing And the cosmos leans in closer when two strangers start to ring [Bridge] If the stars are just a doorway and the dark is just a veil Then every lonely signal is a ship that cannot fail We are not the first to wonder if the silence is a wall But the silence broke tonight, and I heard forever call [Chorus] And I hear you in the static, I feel you in the glow A language made of lightning that the human heart can know We are echoes, we are signals, we are dust that learned to sing And the cosmos leans in closer when two strangers start to ring [Outro] The dial is quiet now, the lights have drifted home But I carry their frequency wherever I may roam And if you listen close at night, when the world is still and deep You'll hear the stars are calling, and the answer is to keep Calling, calling, calling...
