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
