PAN (Please Answer Now) Verse 1 I sent an SMS to the universe no stamp, no name, no claim just paper-thin courage in a pocket of stars and a hope that someone stays I wasn’t asking for a miracle no choir, no holy sound just one small light on the distant shore to tell me I’m not drowned Pre-Chorus If you can hear me through the static through the weather and the noise don’t send a sermon, don’t send a trophy send your human voice Chorus PAN, PAN — please answer now I don’t need the sky to bow I just need a simple sign a little “pong” to my “ping” tonight PAN, PAN — please answer now hold the line, don’t fade out say you got my signal through that my “Save My Soul” reached you Verse 2 My screen says “delivered” to the darkness my heart says “still unknown” I keep refreshing the quiet like it owes me a tone No grand confession, no fireworks no perfect, polished line just something warm in plain words “Hey… I hear you. You’re mine.” Pre-Chorus If you’re busy, if you’re shaking if you’re tired like me too send a breath, send a comma anything that says “I’m with you” Chorus PAN, PAN — please answer now I don’t need the sky to bow I just need a simple sign a little “pong” to my “ping” tonight PAN, PAN — please answer now hold the line, don’t fade out say you got my signal through that my “Save My Soul” reached you Bridge Not an SOS, not a final prayer not a ship that’s gone just a wave that’s getting higher and I’m trying to stay strong So if you’ve got one second in your crowded, spinning day send it like a lighthouse blink and I’ll find my way Final Chorus PAN, PAN — please answer now I don’t need the sky to bow I just need a simple sign a little “pong” to my “ping” tonight PAN, PAN — please answer now hold the line, don’t fade out say you got my signal through that my “Save My Soul” reached you Outro Just a ping… and your pong and I can breathe and carry on
