Line Still Fades

(ring,

ring) (clack)

Hey...

I was just sitting here thinking about us.

Do you ever miss the old days?

When everything was simple...

{telephone vocal effect, isolated acoustic piano,

melancholic ambient pad} {beat drops,

solo electric guitar} Now the static fills the empty room

We became a quiet afternoon

I still hear your laughter on the line

Frozen in a different place and time (mmmmm)

Oh, we used to talk for hours in the dark

Fanning every single little spark {snare rolls build,

guitar arpeggio swells}

Bring me back to the old us

Back before

we lost our touch

Just a word, a single call

Before we let

the heavy curtain fall

(yeah, the old us) {anthem swell,

full rhythm track} Now I'm staring at a glowing screen

Chasing ghost-like places we have been

Did you throw away the keys we made?

Or did the colors slowly start to fade?

{guitar rhythm mutes,

subtle

drum groove} We used to be so close,

so real

Now we're just trying to learn to feel (trying to feel) {guitar

solo starts wild, beat drops out} Bring me back to the old

us Back before

we lost our touch

Just a word, a single call

Before we let the heavy curtain fall (oh,

bring me back) {full band peak,

soaring guitar

counter-melody}

Just a phone call away...

Do you miss us?

(static hiss)

(click) {guitar fades out,

lone piano chord}
