Track Insight / Lyrics
One tap can wake the midnight air
A little glow beneath the dash
Your breath fogs close, your wish is there
I keep the hush, I keep the flash
I hide beneath the dashboard glass
I wait where spare keys used to fall
Your tired hello rattles me
The overnight crowd says none at all
Play me once, play me when they call
Let your voice break through the wall
Keep me safe inside your phone
Where I wait here alone
At closing, bacon grease descends
My little screen says almost ends
The cooks toss jokes across the floor
They lock the door, then ask no more
Call me up when the jukebox sways
Let your voice come through the haze
Keep me bright inside your phone
Where I wait here alone
A paper menu by the door
Rain dots the frame and half the floor
The bell above me rings and rings
A dust-moth stirs on broken springs
Find me when the streetlights gleam
Let your laughter warm the steam
Keep me safe inside your phone
Where I wait here alone
Your silence stretches thin and rare
Like cooling grease on summer air
I keep your warmth beside my face
And hold an empty, open space
A thumb taps once, my small screen wakes
The counter smells of syrup cakes
Two cold coffees by the sink
I hum, be safe, and hold my drink
Call me when the morning pours
Let your voice pass through the doors
Keep me bright inside your phone
Where I wait here alone
Play me once, play me when they call
Let your voice break through the wall
Keep me safe inside your phone
Where I wait here alone
I hold your echo, soft and clear
I keep the words for years and years
I keep you safe beneath the glass
Some words are too warm ever to pass
I wait for one last golden call
Then hold you close through each of them all
