Midnight trains grind sparks below
Platform smells of diesel smoke
Your old ticket in my coat
Ink runs blue from what you wrote
Say your name —
Cold rain.

Coins shake in the payphone slot
Signal cuts, then stops

Across the invisible line
Your pulse stutters into mine
Static crawling through the wire
Breath against the amplifier
Across the invisible line
Streetlights flicker, don’t align
Miles can bend but never steal
What time makes real

Across the invisible line
Your pulse stutters into mine
Static crawling through the wire
Breath against the amplifier

Last tram groans as it drags past
Lipstick mark on coffee rim
Cheap perfume and iodine
Hold on —
Still warm

If the world keeps turning us apart
I trace your number on my arm
Through the dark, through subway light
Metal screaming in the night
Hear me now —
No vow.
Just your shadow in the steam

Across the invisible line
Your pulse stutters into mine
Static crawling through the wire
Breath against the amplifier
Across the invisible line
Streetlights flicker, don’t align
Miles can bend but never steal
What time makes real

Across the invisible line
Your pulse stutters into mine
Static crawling through the wire
Breath against the amplifier

Across the invisible line…
Across the invisible line…
Across the invisible line…

Receiver swings.
Dial tone.
