Static In The Doorway (version 2)

Verse

Bulb above the frame flickers slow,

half a beat behind the tempo.

Brick holds the door from swinging shut,

warm air spills where the two worlds touch.

Your shoulder catches light, then it's gone,

copper skin in strobes till the dark comes on.

Moths keep circling the dying glow,

we don't step in, we don't let go.

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel the pull between the rooms

Are we staying still or leaving soon

Chorus

Static in the doorway

Skin gone bright then blue

Not the street, not inside

Just this flicker holding you

Static in the doorway

Bassline through the frame

Nobody's crossing over

Static says your name

Verse

Jacket half on your shoulder blade,

cold outside but you don't fade.

Someone laughs behind the glass,

we let the sound and the moment pass.

Your hand rests light against the wood,

close enough to feel if I could.

Bulb keeps stuttering overhead,

neither room claims where we're led.

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel the pull between the rooms

Are we staying still or leaving soon

Chorus

Static in the doorway

Skin gone bright then blue

Not the street, not inside

Just this flicker holding you

Static in the doorway

Bassline through the frame

Nobody's crossing over

Static says your name

Bridge

Maybe the light was never broken

Maybe it's waiting on us to open

One step through and the static clears

One breath in and we lose the years

Chorus

Static in the doorway

Skin gone bright then blue

Not the street, not inside

Just this flicker holding you

Static in the doorway

Bassline through the frame

Nobody's crossing over

Static says your name
