Static at the Wheel lyrics
Verse
Sunburnt dashboard, cracked vinyl glow
Radio hiss where the signal used to go
Dust on the map, fuel's almost spent
Last town fades like it was never meant
Pre-Chorus
Can you hear that hum beneath the road?
Every mile is burning off what we were told
Chorus
We're driving out past the edge of blue
Static at the wheel and nothing left to prove
The map runs thin, but I won't stop now
Static at the wheel, this is all we know
Verse
Four a.m., tires humming through sand
Empty bottles rattling in your hand
Skyline folding into another town
Nothing here feels like coming back down
Pre-Chorus
Can you hear that hum beneath the road?
Every mile is burning off what we were told
Chorus
We're driving out past the edge of blue
Static at the wheel and nothing left to prove
The map runs thin, but I won't stop now
Static at the wheel, this is all we know
Bridge
Maybe this is how it's supposed to end
Fading into silence with a friend
Don't turn back just for the light ahead
This kind of empty feels like it's already free
Chorus
We're driving out past the edge of blue
Static at the wheel and nothing left to prove
The map runs thin, but I won't stop now
Static at the wheel, this is all we know
