Ghosts in the static (версия 2)

Verse

Engine cool beside the curb where we used to wait

Headlights on a neighbor's house across the street

Your scarf was red against the frost-white wall

Last December you were still awake and I wasn't yet

You said goodbye with coffee in your cup

I said I'd be fine, but that was a lie

Pre-Chorus

And now here's the radio humming soft

A different year, same lonely route

How do we know where hope goes when the signal fades?

Is it still coming or did we just pretend it stays?

Chorus

Ghosts in the static, holding on to you

Fading signals whispering what we used to be true

Maybe that's all a memory can keep

Hope so fragile even ghosts don't want to leave

Verse 2

Last fall's leaves were golden when I watched you go

I drove this same block every morning till the frost let go

Now your apartment building has new lights on the wall

But sometimes still I see your face reflected in a car at all

Your voice was static in my chest after you left me behind

And now that same hum is starting to be mine

Pre-Chorus

And now here's the radio humming soft

A different year, same lonely route

How do we know where hope goes when the signal fades?

Is it still coming or did we just pretend it stays?

Chorus

Ghosts in the static, holding on to you

Fading signals whispering what we used to be true

Maybe that's all a memory can keep

Hope so fragile even ghosts don't want to leave

Bridge

I'm not saying I still hear your voice like I did then

Just maybe sometimes it hums inside my chest again

Maybe hope doesn't die, maybe it just hides

Until it finds its signal strong enough to rise

Chorus

Ghosts in the static, holding on to you

Fading signals whispering what we used to be true

Maybe that's all a memory can keep

Hope so fragile even ghosts don't want to leave

Outro

Ghosts in the static

You are still there

I'll turn it up
