Lyrics
(Sound of wind, a distant foghorn, then a phone's voicemail beep)
Hey... it's Lou. The Hanover Street Bridge is humming tonight.
It's just past midnight, and the air's got that specific harbor bite,
the cold off the water that gets in the seams of your coat.
I found the keyhole we cut in the fence... you remember? It's all rust-choked.

We're the echo in a hallway that was never filled.
A floor plan for a life drawn on a condemned wall.
And this feeling's the foundation, holding after the fall.
[Bridge]

BEFORE IT'S GONE.
[Outro]
Anyway. Call me back. Or don't.
(Click. Line goes dead. A single treated guitar note hangs and fades.)
