Verse
Screen door slaps twice, and the porch light hums
Radio static between two songs
Bare feet on the hood of your daddy's truck
Seventeen and we knew nothing wrong
Popsicle melting down my wrist
Your laugh cracked open like a paper fan
We didn't know we'd want this back
This dusty, lazy, golden hand
Pre-Chorus
Did we know it wouldn't last
That the light was already turning past
Did we care, did we even try
To hold it right before it said goodbye
Chorus
It's gold in the static, that summer we had
Fuzzy at the edges, but I still hear it, bad
Cicadas and the engine, your hand on the dash
Turn it up, turn it up, let the moment crash
It's gold in the static, and it never fades
Every crackle keeps the color from the gray
Verse
Drive-in movie, but we watched the sky
Gas station slushies, blue on your tongue
Fireflies caught in a jar we forgot
Set them loose before the night was done
Chevy radio skipped every third line
We sang the parts we could still recall
Now every static hiss brings you right back
Standing barefoot by the mall
Pre-Chorus
Did we know it wouldn't last
That the light was already turning past
Did we care, did we even try
To hold it right before it said goodbye
Chorus
It's gold in the static, that summer we had
Fuzzy at the edges, but I still hear it, bad
Cicadas and the engine, your hand on the dash
Turn it up, turn it up, let the moment crash
It's gold in the static, and it never fades
Every crackle keeps the color from the gray
Bridge
Maybe it's better blurry
Maybe forgetting some
Keeps the rest of it burning
Bright as a setting sun
I don't need the whole picture
Just that hiss, that hum, that spark
The static's kept it sacred
Kept it from the dark
Chorus
It's gold in the static, that summer we had
Fuzzy at the edges, but I still hear it, bad
Cicadas and the engine, your hand on the dash
Turn it up, turn it up, let the moment crash
It's gold in the static, and it never fades
Every crackle keeps the color from the gray
Still gold in the static, still yours and still mine
Turn it up one more time
