6) Smoke Signals V1

SMOKE SIGNALS [INTRO - Ember, breathy] If you wanted me gone... Why do you keep looking back? [VERSE 1 - Ember] I see your name light up at 2 AM Then disappear before I answer again You speak in silence, I answer in signs We're both too proud to cross that line You leave the door cracked Then turn away Give me half a truth And call it a day I know your habits You know mine too That's why every quiet room Still sounds like you [PRE-HOOK - Ember] If you're trying to say you miss me Why you hiding in the dark? If you're trying to leave forever Why you still know where I am? [HOOK - Ember] I'm sending smoke signals Can you see them in the sky? Little pieces of a feeling We keep trying to deny Smoke signals Rising through the night If you really want me gone Why you keep coming back in disguise? Smoke... Smoke signaaaaals... Tell me what you really want tonight [VERSE 2 - Ember] I deleted every message But I remember every word Funny how the things we bury Always find a way to surface first You say you're over it Your eyes say you're not You say it's nothing But your heartbeat says a lot Maybe we're addicted To the almost and the maybe Two people holding matches Calling fire temporary [PRE-HOOK - Ember] If you're trying to say you miss me Why you hiding in the dark? If you're trying to leave forever Why you still know where I am? [HOOK - Ember] I'm sending smoke signals Can you see them in the sky? Little pieces of a feeling We keep trying to deny Smoke signals Rising through the night If you really want me gone Why you keep coming back in disguise? Smoke... Smoke signaaaaals... Tell me what you really want tonight [BRIDGE - Ember, intimate] Maybe we don't need another promise Maybe we just need the truth Maybe I'm still holding onto something That was never meant to last this long So if you're watching... Say something. [BREAK - Ember, nearly whispered] One word. That's all. [FINAL HOOK - Ember, emotional power] I'm sending smoke signals Can you see them in the sky? All these little flames between us Still refusing to die Smoke signals Rising through the night If you're really done with me Then stop coming back into my life Smoke... Smoke signaaaaals... I can see you through the night [OUTRO - Ember, fading] I sent the signal... The rest is yours.
