Radio Static Heartbeat (version 2)

Verse

Cracked window letting summer in

Static on the station, words I miss them

Dusty tape player humming through a hymn

Every mile marker feels like a goodbye

Empty gas tank but my chest still full

Radio skips on a static heartbeat

I'm the only one left standing here

Waving flags of something I don't understand yet

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what this road is built for

Is it freedom or just more miles to run?

Something's pulling, something's a door

Hold my breath and let the engines hum

Chorus

I'm chasing a heartbeat over static

Running on fumes and nothing but time

Every mile I'm leaving behind me

This is mine and this is mine

Verse

Sunburned shoulders against the window glass

Map folded up like it's useless now

Engine rattling through every hollow pass

Town by town they start to blur somehow

Stars are blinding where the headlights die

Radio's gone but I don't need a sound

This is all I've ever wanted, nothing else

Nothing left behind that I'm afraid of losing

I'm chasing a heartbeat over static

Running on fumes and nothing but time

Every mile I'm leaving behind me

This is mine and this is mine

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what this road is built for

Is it freedom or just more miles to run?

Something's pulling, something's a door

Hold my breath and let the engines hum

Chorus

I'm chasing a heartbeat over static

Running on fumes and nothing but time

Every mile I'm leaving behind me

This is mine and this is mine

Bridge

Maybe home was never what we thought it was

Just a name, just a mile marker's cost

Today is the only thing that matters now

Nothing after this ever made it out alive

Chorus

I'm chasing a heartbeat over static

Running on fumes and nothing but time

Every mile I'm leaving behind me

This is mine and this is mine
