Static & Silver

Verse 1

Packed a duffel on the kitchen floor

Left your jacket hanging by the door

Radio static where the engine hums

Counting exits like I count my thumbs

Every mile pulls this knot inside

Static in my chest against the tide

I'm not leaving without you, no way

Pre-Chorus

So what do we call a goodbye

If it's already built to fly

Chorus

We're static and silver, chasing light

Rust belt rising into day

Nothing left I need but you tonight

Hold my hand through the open sky

Verse 2

Gas station sign reading 'open till', 4 a.m.

Your fingers laced like they know what's coming again

Neon flickers where the highway bends

Engine coughs and then it starts anew

I built this whole route out of broken plans

Now your laughter is the best I understand

We could lose ourselves but that's okay

Pre-Chorus

So what do we call a goodbye

If it's already built to fly

Chorus

We're static and silver, chasing light

Rust belt rising into day

Nothing left I need but you tonight

Hold my hand through the open sky

Bridge

Maybe this is just a new kind of dawn

Miles look softer when we ride them on our own

No turning back now, no more maps to fold

Just the hum and gold beneath your collarbone

Chorus

We're static and silver, chasing light

Rust belt rising into day

Nothing left I need but you tonight

Hold my hand through the open sky
