Verse
Window cracked at half past two
Amber haze on avenue
Steam curls up from paper cups
Rooftop static, tuning up
Neon blinking, slow and low
Tracing rivers where the taxis flow
My headphones humming underneath the hum
Half awake and halfway numb
Pre-Chorus
Do the streetlights ever dream
Of the ones who drift between
Every wire, every seam
Am I floating or just leaning
Chorus
Static between the streetlights
Holds me like a tide
I'm drifting over city lights
With nowhere left to hide
Static between the streetlights
Soft and warm and wide
I'm floating over city lights tonight
Verse
Fire escape and cooling brick
Skyline flickers, thin and quick
Buses breathe their diesel sighs
Below the drift of satellites
Corner store sign, half its glow
Buzzing out a static show
I count the blocks like falling stars
Windows glowing, empty cars
Pre-Chorus
Do the streetlights ever dream
Of the ones who drift between
Every wire, every seam
Am I floating or just leaning
Chorus
Static between the streetlights
Holds me like a tide
I'm drifting over city lights
With nowhere left to hide
Static between the streetlights
Soft and warm and wide
I'm floating over city lights tonight
Bridge
Maybe home's not a door or a street
Just this hum underneath my feet
Maybe I don't need to land
Just float here with the wires and sand
Chorus
Static between the streetlights
Holds me like a tide
I'm drifting over city lights
With nowhere left to hide
Static between the streetlights
Soft and warm and wide
I'm floating over city lights tonight
