Static Hearts (النسخة 2)

Verse

Radio static on the kitchen counter

Tape still holding your voice from summer

Dust on the photo of us laughing

Same porch swing where we chose our silence

I found your old guitar in the garage

Strings go quiet when no one's playing

Barely hear it over the engine

Every song gets softer with the years

Pre-Chorus

So I sing what you never taught me

Notes that crack but feel like home

Maybe missing's just a melody

Still waiting to learn how to roam

Chorus

I've got static hearts playing all your songs again

Hoping silence wears off and love comes back in

Every note still hurts but it feels like something

Like the radio finally turning itself on

Verse

Now your car's gone, but the gate stays open

Mailbox lid stuck shut with old letters

Screen door sways when the wind gets lazy

Same swing creaks softer every year

I keep a candle lit at eight o'clock

Just to hear the same street lights flicker

Ghost of you still lives in the porch light

Holding the hush like it's holding us together

Pre-Chorus

So I sing what you never taught me

Notes that crack but feel like home

Maybe missing's just a melody

Still waiting to learn how to roam

Chorus

I've got static hearts playing all your songs again

Hoping silence wears off and love comes back in

Every note still hurts but it feels like something

Like the radio finally turning itself on

Bridge

Maybe silence was never just not singing

Maybe it was a song that needed time to learn its own language

So I'll keep this porch lit one more winter

Just in case the static turns into you again

Chorus

I've got static hearts playing all your songs again

Hoping silence wears off and love comes back in

Every note still hurts but it feels like something

Like the radio finally turning itself on
