Hold the Static (Version 2)

Intro

Static hum on the ceiling fan

Your phone's dead but I don't need it to plan

Verse 1

Cereal milk spilled all down your shirt like paint

Radio's static at a frequency we can't name yet

You're counting stars through the blinds that don't quite close

We've got one whole summer and nobody knows

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what it means to be seventeen

To be free, to be fearless, to never sleep again

I don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring

But right now it feels like we can fly if we sing

Chorus

Hold the static, hold it long enough

Don't let the current pull us back to someone else

We're a radio signal breaking through the noise

Catch me if you want, catch me, don't let go

Verse 2

Your grandfather's old camera clicks and we pretend it's art

Melted ice cream drips down my wrist like a broken heart

The highway's empty but the sky is painted gold

We're building something that the sunset knows

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what it means to be seventeen

To be free, to be fearless, to never sleep again

I don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring

But right now it feels like we can fly if we sing

Chorus

Hold the static, hold it long enough

Don't let the current pull us back to someone else

We're a radio signal breaking through the noise

Catch me if you want, catch me, don't let go

Bridge

Someday this won't feel like forever

But right now the whole world's ours for the taking over

I know it's reckless and we might burn out fast

Let's make today so loud that nobody remembers the past

Chorus

Hold the static, hold it long enough

Don't let the current pull us back to someone else

We're a radio signal breaking through the noise

Catch me if you want, catch me, don't let go
