⸻ [Intro] dial tone / faint static / distant radio chatter can you hear me / can you hear me / you still there signal drop ⸻ [Verse 1] Every call feels like crossing state lines Different clocks but we sharing same bloodline Mom in a kitchen I haven’t seen in years Laugh track buried under static and tears Brother in a city where the sky don’t sit still He talks fast now, like time never will Voicemail full but I never hit play Afraid I’ll hear how far we’ve drifted away ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Different tones when the numbers show Same last name but it don’t feel close I pick up, then I let it go I don’t know what I’m supposed to know ⸻ [Chorus] can you hear me / can you hear me Different area codes, same story I know Split down roads we didn’t control can you hear me / can you hear me Every ring sounds like a place I outgrew But I still answer like I’m coming home to you Different area codes, same line we hold Fractured voices but the signal still grows If I close my eyes I can almost see All of us talking through broken frequencies ⸻ [Verse 2] Unknown numbers that I used to trust Now they show up like a warning in dust Caller ID just a memory blur Names I forget but the feelings still stir Grandma’s voice on a fading delay Says you eating like it’s yesterday I nod even though she can’t see Distance turns love into frequency ⸻ [Bridge] (choir) we are still here / we are still here no map for this kind of divide just echoes moving through the wire pulling us closer through fractured fire ⸻ [Final Chorus] can you hear me / can you hear me Different area codes, same story I know Split down roads we didn’t control can you hear me / can you hear me Every ring sounds like a place I outgrew But I still answer like I’m coming home to you Different area codes, same line we hold Fractured voices but the signal still grows If I close my eyes I can almost see All of us talking through broken frequencies ⸻ [Outro] signal fades / call ended
