"Signals Over The Air"


this is what you see when you look in my direction: incandescent corset straws
tied like wires.
this is how it feels calling out, but no one even hears.

the signals that we send over the air...
over the air...
over the air...
over the air.

when you say my name
i want to split it from your lips and hide like whispers in the rain.
when you say my name
i want to stop it in your lungs and collect all of your blood to put in the
radio.

is this how it feels
when you don't even fit into your own skin and it's getting tighter
everyday and i'm getting smaller.
if i keep holding my breath i'm going to disappear.

when you say my name
i want to split it from your lips and hide like whispers in the rain.
when you say my name
i want to stop it in your lungs and collect all of your blood to put in the
radio.

there is nowhere to hide.
they stole the love from our lives and put the sex on the radio.

there's nowhere to hide.
they stole the love from our lives and put the sex on....

if i keep holding my breath all of this will fade away.
if you keep driving we'll be lying in the rain.
changing the shape
folding like an envelope to keep each other in.
shattered glass, broken lights, and mascara gets washed away by windshield wiper
blades.
say.

when you say my name
i want to split it from your lips and hide like whispers in the rain.
when you say my name
i want to stop it in your lungs and collect all of your blood to put in the
radio.

there is nowhere to hide.
they stole the love from our lives and put the sex on the radio.
