Static in the Signal 4

Verse

Last town we passed in the amber light

Radio humming a song I don't know yet

Your hand out the window catching fireflies

Counting miles like they're falling from a debt

Dirt road fading into headlights

Skyline bleeding into black and blue

I'm still deciding what this summer means to me

And you keep singing along to every station we find

Pre-Chorus

Is it the engine or my heart that's humming low

Can I tell the difference, let alone know

We've got wheels but nowhere near enough time

So I'm hanging on your voice like a signal in the line

Chorus

Static in the signal, but we're moving still

Fading fast, but this is how we learn to feel it now

Say goodbye with a song and hold the wheel tight

This is the only speed that feels right

Static in the signal, static in my chest

We were never built for silence anyway — just speed

Verse

Gas station lights like tiny neon crosses

Route 17 stretching out into tomorrow's gray

Your jacket on my shoulders like a promise I don't trust yet

Every mile marker feels like we're crossing something we forgot

You sing about leaving but your voice stays behind me

Radio crackles soft where the signal starts to break

I'm learning how to love something that's already fading

Because maybe that's the only thing that wakes

Pre-Chorus

Is it the engine or my heart that's humming low

Can I tell the difference, let alone know

We've got wheels but nowhere near enough time

So I'm hanging on your voice like a signal in the line

Chorus

Static in the signal, but we're moving still

Fading fast, but this is how we learn to feel it now

Say goodbye with a song and hold the wheel tight

This is the only speed that feels right

Static in the signal, static in my chest

We were never built for silence anyway — just speed

Bridge

Maybe this is all I'll ever need to know

That something leaving can still sound like home

Your voice cuts out one mile before it should

And somehow I'm already missing the next good

I don't want a map, I want these headlights on you

Every static line looks different than goodbye

Chorus

Static in the signal, but we're moving still

Fading fast, but this is how we learn to feel it now

Say goodbye with a song and hold the wheel tight

This is the only speed that feels right

Static in the signal, static in my chest

We were never built for silence anyway — just speed
