Little Kid - Receiver Lyrics

I was wishing you were here
I couldn't shake that feeling
Held the phone against my ear

Heard you on the other end
Don't remember what you said but
I do remember what it meant

To think those cables curled

Halfway around the world so
You and I could trade some words
Made it strange to say
But I could almost see your face there
Though you were miles away

I hope that you're receiving what I send
Though the meaning teeters on the fence
In between the speaker and what you said
Sometimes it bends

Something I couldn't name
I sensed it right away, babe
I could read it on your face

You said, "I know it isn't right
But I can't help the way I feel sometimes
You were in my dream last night"

"Loving someone new
Looked like the one you used to
Hold beneath a younger moon
And now that I'm awake
It's like what separates these two planes
Finally broke beneath the weight"

"Of what you receive and what you send
Though the meaning teeters on the fence
In between the dream and what you dreamt
Sometimes it bends"
