Send out an S.O.S. on the airwaves
but it just comes back as static.
We have different frequencies
F.M., A.M.
You can't give me a clear signal
But I'm too afraid to change the channel.
Days of nothing
Are you mad at me?
"No"
Then why don't you reply?
Then the dead air comes back
Suffocating me
And I'm stuck
Sitting in my car
Waiting,
Texting,
Calling,
But
All I get back
Is radio silence.
