Static on the Windowsill (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Amber lampshade, quarter past nine

Dust in the beam like it's floating in time

Radiator ticking a slow lullaby

Your old sweater still hangs on the door inside

Kettle's humming, steam on the glass

Fingerprint circles from summers that passed

Vinyl skips on the same worn groove

Kitchen light through the curtain, honey-gold hue

Pre-Chorus

And I don't need much, just this

Just the hush, just the static bliss

Some kind of quiet I can't quite name

Chorus

It's just static on the windowsill

Soft and grey and warm and still

Half a song I can't quite spell

Sitting here, remembering well

Verse

Photograph curling in the drawer by the bed

Blue ink letters, half of them unread

Porch light flickers like it's blinking in code

Same street corner where the maple trees grow

Coffee gone cold but I don't mind at all

Rain on the gutter like a soft curtain call

Slippers by the heater, worn at the heel

Every little nothing feels like something real

Pre-Chorus

And I don't need much, just this

Just the hush, just the static bliss

Some kind of quiet I can't quite name

Chorus

It's just static on the windowsill

Soft and grey and warm and still

Half a song I can't quite spell

Sitting here, remembering well

Bridge

Maybe it's not the moment I miss

Maybe it's just the shape of this

The space between the words we'd say

Folded soft like yesterday

Chorus

It's just static on the windowsill

Soft and grey and warm and still

Half a song I can't quite spell

Sitting here, remembering well

Outro

Mm, the light's still gold

Mm, the room's still warm

Nothing's gone, it's just

Settled into form
