From the recording Do Not Open
Lyrics
[Intro]
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
[Verse 1]
Cold light on the window
Your name on my breath
I left the porch light burning
For somebody who left
Every road I travel
Turns back to your door
I keep on reaching for you
Like I’m reaching for the shore
[Pre-Chorus]
And the night gets louder
And the stars burn low
I’m still calling out
Just to let you know
[Chorus]
I’m sending out a ghost signal
Through the dark, through the snow
Are you out there in the static?
Are you lost in the afterglow?
I’m sending out a ghost signal
‘Til the morning lets me go
If you’re out there, give me something
Just a flicker, just a glow
[Drop]
Call me, call me
Just a glow
Call me, call me
[Verse 2]
Your coat still on the hanger
Your song still on repeat
I hear you in the quiet
Like footsteps on the street
They tell me let it go now
They tell me move along
But how do I stop listening
For the echo of your song?
[Pre-Chorus]
And the night gets louder
And the stars burn low
I’m still calling out
Just to let you know
[Chorus]
I’m sending out a ghost signal
Through the dark, through the snow
Are you out there in the static?
Are you lost in the afterglow?
I’m sending out a ghost signal
‘Til the morning lets me go
If you’re out there, give me something
Just a flicker, just a glow
[Drop]
Call me, call me
Just a glow
Call me, call me
[Bridge]
Maybe you’re a lighthouse
Maybe I’m the sea
Maybe you’ve been calling
Just as hard for me
Turn the dial slowly
Hold your breath and wait
Love don’t stop transmitting
Even when it’s late
[Final Chorus]
I’m sending out a ghost signal
Through the dark, through the snow
Are you out there in the static?
Are you lost in the afterglow?
I’m sending out a ghost signal
‘Til the morning lets me go
If you’re out there, give me something
Just a flicker, just a glow
[Final Drop]
Call me, call me
Just a glow
Call me, call me
Just a glow
[Outro]
Can you hear me?
I’m still here
Can you hear me?
