[Spoken Intro — Low, Close] If you can hear this… Leave the channel open. I’m coming back. [Guitar Riff — Dirty, Low, Drums Enter Hard] [Verse 1 — Male — Rhythmic, Half-Spoken] Left engine knocking, right one runs hot Fuel gauge telling me what I haven’t got Somebody painted over every name On the hangar wall before the morning came Got your signal through a broken relay Three short clicks from a place off the map They crossed you out at a quarter to midnight I put my coat on and I crossed you back [Pre-Chorus — Rising, Controlled] Give me a wire Give me a spark Give me your voice Coming out of the dark [Chorus — Strong Melody, Heavy Groove] I got a second wind And a way back in One more run on a patched-up wing Hold on tight when the engines kick There’s room for you in this wreck of a ship Keep that light burning low I won’t leave till you’re coming home I got a second wind And a way back in [Post-Chorus — Low, Rhythmic] A way back in Yeah, a way back in [Verse 2 — Male — Dry, Confident] Little tin partner with a bad left wheel Knows which doors to open, knows which parts to steal He gives me a look when the dashboard dies Like I’m the reason we’re still alive Got a borrowed code and a service hatch Ninety good seconds till they change that latch You ask if the plan has a decent chance I say, “Ask me again when we’re past the fence.” [Pre-Chorus — More Urgent] Give me a wire Give me a spark I’ve got your voice Now I’m following the dark [Chorus — Full Drums, Rough Vocal Edge] I got a second wind And a way back in One more run on a patched-up wing Hold on tight when the engines kick There’s room for you in this wreck of a ship Keep that light burning low I won’t leave till you’re coming home I got a second wind And a way back in [Instrumental Break — Slide Guitar Solo, Metallic Rhythm, Driving Bass] [Bridge — Stripped Back, Almost Spoken] I’ve been the voice on the other end Counting the seconds, calling again Heard that silence swallow my name I still remember who came [Build — Low Vocal, Drums Rising] So bang on the pipe Let me hear where you are I’ve cut through the lock Now stand clear of the door [Final Chorus — Powerful, Open Melody] I got a second wind And a way back in One more run on a patched-up wing Hold on tight when the engines kick There’s room for you in this wreck of a ship Keep that light burning low I won’t leave till you’re coming home I got a second wind And a way back in [Outro — Heavy Riff, Half-Spoken] Count every seat. Check every name. Close that hatch. [Pause — Engine Pulse] Everybody’s here? Good. [Final Guitar Hit]
