SONGCONT_OMFN5AZI69 [Intro] [Verse 1] Oxygen at fifteen, systems going dark Twelve million miles from home, adrift among the stars The console blinks in red, there's nothing left to do So I'm opening a channel, sending this to you Cold and quiet out here, just the hum of these machines The Earth is turning slowly, it's the most beautiful thing I've seen I'm not afraid, I promise. Well, maybe just a little But I've got one last message, and I need to find the middle [Pre-Chorus] Between the courage and the breaking Between the silence and the static I'll tap it out in dots and dashes A love note turned to mathematics [Chorus] S.O.S., do you read me? This is my final transmission From somewhere past the dark side of the moon Tell them that I saw it, the whole world from a distance And God, it looked like something out of a dream (Can anyone hear me?) [Verse 2] I'm thinking of a morning in the middle of October The coffee on the counter and the kids half-sleepy-eyed The dog was on the back porch, sun was coming over I didn't know that morning was a moment I should memorize There's so much I took lightly, so much I let rush past You never think the ordinary moments have to last But up here in the nothing, I would trade the universe For one more Tuesday morning, unremarkable at first [Pre-Chorus] Between the courage and the breaking Between the silence and the static I'll tap it out in dots and dashes What words can't hold, let rhythm carry it [Chorus] S.O.S., do you read me? This is my final transmission From somewhere past the dark side of the moon Tell them that I loved them. Tell them without question Tell them that I'm sorry that I won't be coming soon Tell them I'll be the light they see at noon [Bridge] Three dots... pause... three dash... pause... Three dots… Three dash… Three dots... I learned it as a kid, thought it was just a game Never thought I'd need it, never thought it'd carry my name Across the dark between us, thinner than a thread But every dot and dash means everything I've left unsaid [Verse 3] The signal's getting weaker, the battery's almost gone I hope this finds you somehow, I hope it carries on And if it doesn't reach you, just look up on clear nights I'll be the unnamed flicker somewhere in the lights [Chorus] S.O.S.... do you read me? This is my final transmission From somewhere past the dark side of the moon Tell them that I saw it. The whole world like a vision And it was more than worth it, every scar and every wound Tell them... I won't be home soon Tell them... I won't be home soon Tell them... I won't be home soon S.O.S.... do you read me? [end]
