[Intro - Instrumental] [Verse 1] Rusted ladder up the back of the block Wind in the wire, old satellite dish Milk crate throne by the humming box Red light blinking on the edge of the roof I got a mic and a busted pair of cans Talking to a skyline that never answers back [Verse 2] Dial stuck halfway between two songs Static like snow on an empty screen I write your name on the side of the console Then smear it out with the side of my sleeve Somewhere past the river and the trainyard glow You used to call in just to hear your favorite echo [Pre-Chorus] If you’re out there turning circles on the freeway Chasing headlights, drowning out the replay This is me still refusing to fade [Chorus] I am broadcasting to the dark for you Every word a flare cut through the blue Tuning in the ghosts on channel two Hoping one of them still sounds like you If no one’s listening when the signal breaks in two I will keep talking to the dead air till it moves [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Playlist scribbled on the back of a bill Lonely bands that never made it big I spin the vinyl till the needle stands still Let the room shake on the smallest of rigs Underneath the tower with a cigarette glow Some kid hears this and thinks they’re not alone [Pre-Chorus] If you’re out there with the windows rolled down low Searching for a station that still feels like home This is me asking you to let me know [Chorus] I am broadcasting to the dark for you Every word a flare cut through the blue Tuning in the ghosts on channel two Hoping one of them still sounds like you If no one’s listening when the signal breaks in two I will keep talking to the dead air till it moves [Outro] When the city kills the power and the tower lights die I’ll be on this rooftop whispering goodbye
