[Intro - pitched vocal chops, reversed reverb] Yeah (Still you) [Verse 1 - sparse trap drums, detuned synth pulse] Burned your number in the kitchen sink Watched it curl up black Everyone I meet since then Feels like wearing someone else's jacket [Drums intensify, sidechained bass] I got names in my phone I don't recognize Faces blur at the bar at midnight Should be over it, should be clean But I'm still checking doors you'll never walk in [Pre-Chorus - filter sweep rising] I can fake it for a while Laugh on cue and play the room But you say my name from across the street And everything just [Chorus - full drop, distorted 808s] Goes quiet You're the only signal Cutting through the wreckage in my chest I could kiss a stranger every weekend Still reach for your side of the bed You're the only signal And I cut the wire myself So why's your voice still in the walls When there's no one else [Post-Chorus - chopped vocals, staccato] No one else No one else Don't want it to be you But it's no one else [Verse 2 - stripped back, heartbeat kick] You never double text Never show up crying at my door That's the worst part honestly You just let me leave like I meant what I swore [Arpeggiated synth enters] Tried to kill it in someone's basement Tried to feel something in the back of a car But everything's a photocopy now Faded and off [Pre-Chorus - white noise rise] Tell myself I'm done with this Say it til my throat is raw Then it's 4am and I can't sleep And I'm staring at the wall [Chorus - explosive drop, pitch shifted harmonies] Goes quiet You're the only signal Cutting through the wreckage in my chest I could kiss a stranger every weekend Still reach for your side of the bed You're the only signal And I cut the wire myself So why's your voice still in the walls When there's no one else [Bridge - half time, ambient pads, echoed vocals] I know exactly what I'm doing I know this isn't love, it's just a loop I know the version of you I miss Probably wasn't even true [Drums drop out, raw vocal] But knowing doesn't kill the dream Where we're parked outside your mother's house And you're laughing at something dumb I said And I haven't woken up yet [Silence hit] [Final Chorus - massive synth wall, gang vocals] Goes quiet You're the only signal I don't want to hear but I can't block out I deleted everything but memory And memory don't care about What I want You're the only signal Still alive inside the noise I left you standing in November But I never found my voice [Outro - decaying synths, vocoder fade] No one else Don't want it to be you No one else But it's always you [End - signal fizzle out]
