Hold the Static lyrics
Intro
Static hum on the ceiling fan
Your phone's dead but I don't need it to plan
Verse 1
Cereal milk spilled all down your shirt like paint
Radio's static at a frequency we can't name yet
You're counting stars through the blinds that don't quite close
We've got one whole summer and nobody knows
Pre-Chorus
Tell me what it means to be seventeen
To be free, to be fearless, to never sleep again
I don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring
But right now it feels like we can fly if we sing
Chorus
Hold the static, hold it long enough
Don't let the current pull us back to someone else
We're a radio signal breaking through the noise
Catch me if you want, catch me, don't let go
Verse 2
Your grandfather's old camera clicks and we pretend it's art
Melted ice cream drips down my wrist like a broken heart
The highway's empty but the sky is painted gold
We're building something that the sunset knows
Pre-Chorus
Tell me what it means to be seventeen
To be free, to be fearless, to never sleep again
I don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring
But right now it feels like we can fly if we sing
Chorus
Hold the static, hold it long enough
Don't let the current pull us back to someone else
We're a radio signal breaking through the noise
Catch me if you want, catch me, don't let go
Bridge
Someday this won't feel like forever
But right now the whole world's ours for the taking over
I know it's reckless and we might burn out fast
Let's make today so loud that nobody remembers the past
Chorus
Hold the static, hold it long enough
Don't let the current pull us back to someone else
We're a radio signal breaking through the noise
Catch me if you want, catch me, don't let go
