Waves on the Wire 2 (Version 2)

Verse

I can hear the hum on the wire through my ribs

Static in the dark like it's keeping its own beat

I'm leaning out of this screen door like a bird ready to fly

I used to think that sound was just white noise

Something I tuned out while waiting for what feels right

But now I'm tuning it up, letting it turn into gold

I've got my feet on the porch rail and nothing else matters here

Pre-Chorus

Tell me who's gonna stop this from happening?

Ain't nobody home that I know, and I'm not waiting

Something in my chest is shaking loose, something real coming through

Chorus

I'm dancing through the static with my hands up high

No static left on me when the moonlight catches my eyes

Free tonight, spinning out like a top on a string

Waves on the wire are singing and I let them carry me along

Verse

The crickets are playing bass underneath this hum

Every step I take is one I never had to plan

I'm stepping into the silver and leaving all my doubts behind

Static in the dark turns out to be something divine

I used to think it was just static, but now I hear a song

This noise on my skin like it's carrying me along

Gonna ride these waves till morning light comes creeping through the screen

Gonna dance right off this porch and leave my old self behind for good tonight

Pre-Chorus

Tell me who's gonna stop this from happening?

Ain't nobody home that I know, and I'm not waiting

Something in my chest is shaking loose, something real coming through

Chorus

I'm dancing through the static with my hands up high

No static left on me when the moonlight catches my eyes

Free tonight, spinning out like a top on a string

Waves on the wire are singing and I let them carry me along

Bridge

Not a radio, not a speaker in sight

Just this noise turning into light

Every step, every spin, every breath I take

The static's singing back what my heart keeps saying, 'Let go

Chorus

I'm dancing through the static with my hands up high

No static left on me when the moonlight catches my eyes

Free tonight, spinning out like a top on a string

Waves on the wire are singing and I let them carry me along
