Radio Silence - Reckoners of the Afternoon - The Gone Kids

[Intro] Shortwave static in my chest Socks on the heater I tried to call you But even the dial gave up [Verse 1] We buried our songs in the floorboards Folded like unpaid letters Left the kettle on for closure Never got much better I spoke in lowercase longing You laughed in caps lock lies We broke like borrowed speakers Humming haunted goodbyes [Pre-Chorus] Did we drift or did we dive? Was it dead or just alive? A minute late, a metre wide You held the echo, I held the line [Chorus, Youth Chorus Swell] (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) Radio silence, no voice, no trace (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) Volume low on your leaving face (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) I still sleep with the static on Just in case, just in case [Verse 2] There’s soup in the sink, cold and loud And this flat still smells like our doubts Ashtrays full of unfinished thoughts You left your boots but not your shouts You always tuned me out mid-word Like I was part-time transmission Now I count the seconds in syllables And find ghosts in repetition [Bridge, Hollow Reverb + Muted Drums] Every station, same delay Every hallway sounds like grey You took the song and left the play And I just sit in yesterday [Chorus, Full Band, Cracked Vocals] (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) Radio silence, across my floor (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) Still hear you through the door (aaaaaaoooooooooohhhhhh) No music left to fake But I still hit play [Outro, Whisper Falsetto + Guitar Hiss] No signal No sign Just silence All mine
