Handshake Nexus

Listen for the sound between the sounds

A door creaking open one bit at a time

Somewhere on the other end of this

Someone's already talking, and I'm not supposed to hear

Pick up the phone and there's a voice in the wire

Not mine, not meant for me,

just passing through

A stranger's sentence caught inside the signal

Gone before I catch the words

Connecting... connecting...

(con-con-connecting...) Hold the line,

hold the line

Somewhere behind the noise,

the page is loading

A fax curls out of the machine at 3am

Half a message nobody claimed

I used to fall asleep to the sound of connecting

Now I just remember waiting

Connecting...

connecting...

(con-con-connecting...) Hold the line,

hold the line Somewhere behind the noise,

the page is loading

You're still there

I can hear you underneath the noise
