(Verse 1 — Male) The marina lights were shaking on your skin Half past midnight, letting trouble in You leaned across the dashboard, silver rings Said “turn it louder… drown the little things” I could feel the storm behind your eyes Like a west coast summer burning through the night Every word you whispered hit me slow Like radio waves only we could know (Pre-Chorus — Female) You move like water over chrome Like every runaway finally found home (Chorus — Both) At sixty-four dB You pull the dark right out of me No crashing drums, no screaming scene Just your heartbeat underneath the machine At sixty-four dB Your voice is all the world I need Low enough to keep it close High enough to lose control (Verse 2 — Female) Your hands were steady on the wheel tonight Palm trees passing in sodium light You never asked me where I’d been Just let the silence fold us in (Male response) I know the ghosts you never name I wear a few of mine the same Maybe that’s why this feels true No performance when I’m next to you (Pre-Chorus — Both) No fireworks, no cheap disguise Just city reflections in your eyes (Chorus — Both) At sixty-four dB You pull the dark right out of me Velvet smoke and summer heat Your shadow dancing over me At sixty-four dB Nothing else gets through the sea Every station fades to blue Till there’s only me and you (Bridge — Female lead / Male echoes) We don’t have to say forever (forever) Some nights already last that long (last that long) Your fingers tracing circles slowly Like a faded but familiar song (Male lead) And if the tide pulls us away I’ll still hear you in the static waves (Final Chorus — Both) At sixty-four dB You were the frequency for me Warm as California rain Cool as midnight on the bay At sixty-four dB Love sounded dangerously clean No wasted words, no grand design Just your soul moving into mine (Outro — Both) Sixty-four dB… Keep it right there… Don’t turn it down…
