Static Between the Streetlights (version 2)

Verse

Window cracked at half past two

Amber haze on avenue

Steam curls up from paper cups

Rooftop static, tuning up

Neon blinking, slow and low

Tracing rivers where the taxis flow

My headphones humming underneath the hum

Half awake and halfway numb

Pre-Chorus

Do the streetlights ever dream

Of the ones who drift between

Every wire, every seam

Am I floating or just leaning

Chorus

Static between the streetlights

Holds me like a tide

I'm drifting over city lights

With nowhere left to hide

Static between the streetlights

Soft and warm and wide

I'm floating over city lights tonight

Verse

Fire escape and cooling brick

Skyline flickers, thin and quick

Buses breathe their diesel sighs

Below the drift of satellites

Corner store sign, half its glow

Buzzing out a static show

I count the blocks like falling stars

Windows glowing, empty cars

Pre-Chorus

Do the streetlights ever dream

Of the ones who drift between

Every wire, every seam

Am I floating or just leaning

Chorus

Static between the streetlights

Holds me like a tide

I'm drifting over city lights

With nowhere left to hide

Static between the streetlights

Soft and warm and wide

I'm floating over city lights tonight

Bridge

Maybe home's not a door or a street

Just this hum underneath my feet

Maybe I don't need to land

Just float here with the wires and sand

Chorus

Static between the streetlights

Holds me like a tide

I'm drifting over city lights

With nowhere left to hide

Static between the streetlights

Soft and warm and wide

I'm floating over city lights tonight
