Signal and the Noise

And I'm looking for patterns

And I'm thinkin' each word matters

Tryin' to decrypt every move that comes my way

In the lobby bar and you

Just seem so far

But I'm hanging on to the feelin' I had in your arms last time

And I'm thinkin' it's the sort of magic you just can't make up

And I'm wishin' on a star that this silence ain't true love

It's the signal and the noise

Sat 'round waiting for the boys

To come 'round when their games are all but through

It's the rise and then the fall

The missed channel of it all

The square peg and the round hole, just can't see through

It's the silence where there used to be you

It's not BAU, you said

You were shot right through

And the look you gave me late that night

Still haunts me while I'm sleeping tight

And I wanna feel the passion

Quit looking through the glass and

Not have to trust, 'cause know, darlin'

Why you always fighting what we both can feel is true

Why you overlooking what's right in front of you

It's the signal and the noise

Sat 'round waiting for the boys

To come 'round when their games are all but through

It's the rise and then the fall

The missed channel of it all

The square peg and the round hole, just can't see through

It's the silence where there used to be

And I'm so quick to turn on my foolish wanting ways

Quick to sell myself out, making more out of our days

But I'm standing on the truth, it's not me who's lyin, it's you

Are you afraid to see it through?

Bench yourself so you don't feel pain

Oh

It's the signal and the noise

Sat 'round waiting for the boys

To come 'round when their games are all but through

It's the rise and then the fall (the rise and then the fall)

The missed channel of it all

The square peg and the round hole, just can't see through

(you know I gotta see it through)

It's the silence where there used to be you

(where there used to be, used to be you)

It's the silence where there used to be you
