{warm fingerpicked acoustic
guitar, subtle ambient synth pad}
We're sitting three inches apart on the kitchen floor
Yeah, it
feels like a time zone but maybe a little more
You're moving your lips,
spilling water on the tile
And I'm nodding along,
thinking of familiar
style
But the signal gets lost in the space between
Like a bathtub of an unforeign movie scene
Oh, your mouth is drowning but the audio's late
We're drowning in the static that we both create Yeah,
we're shouting over a whisper
We're talking but I
need subtitles to understand you
Yeah, we're burning but there's no smoke left in the room
You're speaking in cursive,
I'm breathing in bold
We're freezing alive in a story untold
Translate the silence,
tell me the truth 'Cause I need subtitles to get through to
you
You use big words like "fine" and "it's whatever"
To patch up the cracks in our stormy weather
I look at your eyes,
searching for a script But the prompt is gone and the signal
has slipped We're two frequencies on the same dial Turning into noise
for a little while
Oh, your mouth is moving but the audio's late We're drowning in
the static that we both create
We're shouting over a whisper
We're talking but I need subtitles to understand you
Yeah, we're burning but there's no smoke left in the room You're
speaking in cursive, I'm reading in bold We're freezing alive in a
story untold
Translate the silence, tell me the truth 'Cause I need subtitles to
get through to you
White noise, blue screen
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
Are we lost in translation or just lost?
We're talking but I need subtitles to understand you 'Cause I need
subtitles to get through to you
Yeah, what do you mean?
Subtitles for you
