Across the Wire
from The Longshot EP by Stevie Mac
lyrics
I took a picture for you
I watched all the colours explode in your hand
You kept the memory buried deep in the sand
A great emancipation
No longer bound by the thoughts in your head
You run through the city far from your bed
So you tune in the station and shut all your doors
And be shorn of your fair weather friends
The ones truly connected to you are out there
Across the wire
You showed me your journal
Profiles and pages too many to count
Laid out before me I set them down
I sent you a message
I called out your name and it flew through the dark
Electromagnetic a fading spark
So get yourself connected and ignore the fakes
And be sure that you're not on your own
Those who really can understand you are just waiting
Across the wire
So don't be mistaken you're only just waking
To see it all merge into one
Reach out through the airwaves and I'll be beside you
Across the wire
I watched all the colours explode in your hand
You kept the memory buried deep in the sand
A great emancipation
No longer bound by the thoughts in your head
You run through the city far from your bed
So you tune in the station and shut all your doors
And be shorn of your fair weather friends
The ones truly connected to you are out there
Across the wire
You showed me your journal
Profiles and pages too many to count
Laid out before me I set them down
I sent you a message
I called out your name and it flew through the dark
Electromagnetic a fading spark
So get yourself connected and ignore the fakes
And be sure that you're not on your own
Those who really can understand you are just waiting
Across the wire
So don't be mistaken you're only just waking
To see it all merge into one
Reach out through the airwaves and I'll be beside you
Across the wire
