Between The Airwaves

Red light glowing on the mixing console board Coffee's getting cold but

I'm still reaching for a chord Speaking to the microphone,

sending waves into the dark Talking to a thousand minds,

hoping for a spark Yeah,

I wonder who is out there staying up past three Is there

anyone who knows the boy behind the melody?

So I dedicate this next one to the sleepless and the blind

To whoever needs to hear this song tonight

The signal leaves the tower,

floating through the cold

A quiet invitation for a story to unfold Traveling across the sleeping

streets and power lines Landing in the center of a heart by

design

We are the frequency between the static and the stars

Two souls connected underneath the heavy city bars You know my voice,

I know the weight of being all alone A modern love story

built from paper and a microphone

(ooh yeah) She's studying late night with her headphones pressed tight Learning

all my bad jokes,

keeping on the desk light

She hears the fear in my verses,

the hope in the refrain Sometimes she talks back to the radio

through the rain Her friends think she's crazy,

chasing after airwaves But she just smiles because she knows the way

my voice behaves Every single midnight,

a routine of comfort and grace Falling for a mind before she

ever saw my face

Then she sent a message,

just a simple typed line Saying 'your songs helped me through

a really dark time' No poetry,

no drama, just a heart on display

And suddenly the listener became a real name

Months later in a basement room,

the crowd had slipped away

She was standing by the stage

with nothing left to say

I looked down at her nametag,

silence filled the air We smiled like we'd been talking for at

least a hundred years (for all these years) Now we are the

frequency between the static and the stars No longer separated by the

distance or the bars

I know your face,

you know my voice,

we're finally at home

The love story we wrote together through the microphone (yeah,

we are home)

The signal's fading out,

but you are right here beside me

No more static on the line (hummmm)

Just you and me tonight
