[Intro] Oh-oh I’m still awake Are you there? Signal received [Verse 1] I found your number in an old phone Typed it in but didn’t call Funny how a tiny contact Can still change the room at all We spent years on separate routes Different trains, different towns Now your name appears at midnight And I finally turn around [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we were never lost Maybe we just took the long way round [Chorus] Signal received I know you’re there No more paper satellites Hanging in the air Signal received After all this time You sent one little message And I sent one back this time [Verse 2] You said, “Remember that old café?” I said, “The one beside the station?” You said, “Tomorrow, seven thirty.” I said, “That sounds like a plan.” No grand speech and no confession No pretending we know why Just two people making room For something neither wants to hide [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we don't need to know Where this is going when we go [Chorus] Signal received I know you’re there No more paper satellites Hanging in the air Signal received After all this time You sent one little message And I sent one back this time [Bridge – stripped-down synth pulse] Different stations Same old frequency Different versions Of you and me The screen goes dark The coffee gets cold But this time Neither one of us goes home [Final Chorus – full band] Signal received I know you’re there No more paper satellites Spinning anywhere Signal received After all this time You sent one little message And I sent one back this time No more orbiting alone No more waiting by the phone Signal received And this time, we replied [Outro] Oh-oh Still awake Still awake Message sent.
