Smoke Signals was written by Robin Skinner (Cavetown) and Tessa Violet. It was publicized on July 10, 2020, with the cover image of a light blue house in a metropolitan area. It was described by a user on Youtube as “the ultimate 2 am-sitting-in-bed-overthinking songwriter" type of song. The lyrics...
[Verse 1: Cavetown with Tessa Violet]
I know I'm a freak
Ripped the Band-Aid, broke the peace
Took the lock but lost the key
Guess I set you free
I hope you found a place to sleep
I know you're bound to think of me
[Chorus: Cavetown & Tessa Violet]
You can come home to me when you're ready
I left the gate unlocked for you
Till then I'm sending out smoke signals
Hoping I'll see yours too
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2: Tessa Violet with Cavetown]
When the dust has set
Settled up and done our debts
Nothing left to go collect
If you're feeling spent
When it's heavy on your chest
When you think there's nothing left
[Chorus: Cavetown & Tessa Violet]
You can come home to me when you're ready
I left the gate unlocked for you
Till then I'm sending out smoke signals
Hoping I'll see yours too
[Outro: Tessa Violet, Cavetown]
(I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you)
