(Verse 1) Forget the catalog of every slip and slide And if they read it back to you, let that be their last goodbye I've got a lifetime of the hours I should have spent right here Making up for all the quiet, drawing your horizon near (Chorus) They say it only takes three things to make the engine run: A person to hold onto, a fight that must be won, A little bit of tomorrow waiting for the sun I just need a steady signal, won't cut out when it's rough I just need to know the frequency is finally strong enough (Verse 2) If you could see the blueprints of this quiet world I built The shaky ground I leveled, all the sediment and silt The fragile equilibrium I balance in my hands You'd get the hesitation, you would finally understand The reason for the firewall, the caution at the door I need to be so certain 'fore I let you in the core (Chorus) They say it only takes three things to make the engine run: A person to hold onto, a fight that must be won, A little bit of tomorrow waiting for the sun I just need a steady signal, won't cut out when it's rough I just need to know the frequency is finally strong enough (Bridge) (Spoken gently over a breakdown of the beat) Not a ghost… not a glitch in the stream… Just a constant, gentle beam… (Outro) (Music fades, leaving only the sparkling synth and the bassline) A person to hold onto… A fight to be won… A tomorrow waiting for the sun… Strong enough… Finally strong enough.
