Top Deck Static

Verse

Top deck window, city blurred to gold

Bassline bleeding through my earphone hole

Traced a heart in the fog on the glass

Watch the streetlights slide on past

Static crackle where the speaker used to be

Same old tune but it's chasing me

Knees against the seat in front, I sway

Half asleep but I don't want the ride to end this way

Pre-Chorus

Engine hums a low 2-step

Every stop I lose count, lose my step

Eyes half shut but my feet still move

Don't wake me till there's nothing left to lose

Chorus

Lost it on the top deck, gone

Static in my headphones, on and on

Don't know where the night got in

Just the hum, the sway, the static skin

Verse

Girl in the back seat singing low

Same three words on a loop I know

Condensation dripping down the pole

Half the bus asleep, the other half glow

Card machine beeps like a heartbeat drum

Every red light feels like it's calling someone

Rain on the roof keeps the rhythm tight

Riding nowhere, riding right

Pre-Chorus

Engine hums a low 2-step

Every stop I lose count, lose my step

Eyes half shut but my feet still move

Don't wake me till there's nothing left to lose

Chorus

Lost it on the top deck, gone

Static in my headphones, on and on

Don't know where the night got in

Just the hum, the sway, the static skin

Bridge

Maybe I don't get off at all

Let the last stop come and let it fall

Maybe I'm the static now

Riding out the only sound

Chorus

Lost it on the top deck, gone

Static in my headphones, on and on

Don't know where the night got in

Just the hum, the sway, the static skin
