Static in Your Veins 2 (version 2)

Verse

Fog is rising from the ground

Your shadow on the wall turns round

I lost your hand in the smoke ring haze

Now I'm tracing every shape you made

Porch light humming, sirens out of sight

Every breath feels like we're still tonight

I kept this door open for an hour more

In case you turned up at the same old floor

But it's just me counting down the beat

And your name keeps slipping under my feet

Pre-Chorus

Is that a taxi on the corner, turning red?

Or are we still here where the light doesn't spread?

Do I keep running this loop till you show up at the door?

Or do I finally let it go?

Chorus

Static in your veins

Pulse keeps tracing lines to where you used to be

Static in your veins

Every spark remembers me, me, me

Left my light on for an hour past midnight

Counting how many times the bassline's shifted

I still hear your voice like it never left

Somewhere in this fog I keep finding breath

Verse

Same taxi, same worn pavement glow

Different Friday but the rhythm won't let go

Girl in the corner wears that perfume you used to wear

She turns around slow and I swear it's fair

I followed that bassline through a whole year of nights

Every city block still feels like we're holding tight

Now your picture on my phone keeps turning round

Wish I knew which direction the city turned that sound

Pre-Chorus

Is that a taxi on the corner, turning red?

Or are we still here where the light doesn't spread?

Do I keep running this loop till you show up at the door?

Or do I finally let it go?

Chorus

Static in your veins

Pulse keeps tracing lines to where you used to be

Static in your veins

Every spark remembers me, me, me

Left my light on for an hour past midnight

Counting how many times the bassline's shifted

I still hear your voice like it never left

Somewhere in this fog I keep finding breath

Bridge

Maybe you're driving through a whole different town

Or maybe you've been here all along, moving round and round

Same four walls but the clock keeps turning slow

And every beat still knows exactly where to go

Chorus

Static in your veins

Pulse keeps tracing lines to where you used to be

Static in your veins

Every spark remembers me, me, me

Left my light on for an hour past midnight

Counting how many times the bassline's shifted

I still hear your voice like it never left

Somewhere in this fog I keep finding breath
