Cigarette and Static (Version 2)

Verse

Your jacket's on the backseat and the ashtray is full

I'm driving through streets where we first said goodnight

We used to chase sunsets down the longest roads

Now I'm following your shadow wherever it goes

The headlights cut across the wet pavement in a line

Every mile feels like another one of my last goodbye

Pre-Chorus

Tell me am I losing you, or is this just my mind?

Do you still hear the radio when we leave the same rhyme

Can we rewrite the ending before it's done?

Before the city starts to wake up and the sun has won

Chorus

I'll drive through all of the static with a cigarette in my hand

If that's where you are, then I don't need a plan

Every single mile will be another reason to stay

Cigarette and static, we'll find our way

Verse

We used to laugh at the sirens in the dead of night

Now they just remind me it's not gonna feel like this tonight

The coffee shop on 5th is still open late

I'm parking next to your car with a quarter to an eight o'clock date

I know you're waiting somewhere but I don't wanna look

Every streetlight is a ghost of something we used to do

Pre-Chorus

Tell me am I losing you, or is this just my mind?

Do you still hear the radio when we leave the same rhyme

Can we rewrite the ending before it's done?

Before the city starts to wake up and the sun has won

Chorus

I'll drive through all of the static with a cigarette in my hand

If that's where you are, then I don't need a plan

Every single mile will be another reason to stay

Cigarette and static, we'll find our way

Bridge

Maybe it's not about where we're going at all

Maybe this is just the only place left for us to fall

So turn up your window so we can both breathe in the same air

And let the sirens fade away because tonight you're still there

Chorus

I'll drive through all of the static with a cigarette in my hand

If that's where you are, then I don't need a plan

Every single mile will be another reason to stay

Cigarette and static, we'll find our way
