Sweet Static

Intro – soft piano + faint radio fuzz]

(tuning sound)

You ever miss someone so bad…

you can still hear them through the noise?

⸻

The station fades between our song,

Same old feeling, still feels wrong.

I said goodbye, but it didn’t stick,

The past keeps playing — it’s a dirty trick.

⸻

Every night, I chase that sound,

Your echo spins me round and round.

You’re gone, but I can’t detach,

I keep reaching through the static, just to match.

⸻

Sweet static, don’t you fade,

You’re the ghost my heart replayed.

Every hum, every broken line,

Still whispers you were mine.

Sweet static, don’t go quiet yet,

You’re the song I can’t forget.

I keep hearing you in every crowd,

Sweet static, play me loud.

⸻

Coffee cold and daylight cruel,

I keep waiting like a fool.

Your memory wears a velvet crown,

You’re gone — but I can’t turn you down.

⸻

I should change the frequency,

But your tune still lives in me.

Every pulse, every rhyme,

Still beats you in time.

⸻

I twist the dial, but it’s all the same,

Your voice comes back, calling my name.

Maybe we were never through —

Maybe static sounds like you.

(soft instrumental, faint echo: “sweet static… sweet static…”)

⸻

Sweet static, don’t you fade,

You’re the ghost my heart replayed.

Every hum, every broken line,

Still whispers you were mine.

Sweet static, I can’t forget,

You’re the song in my regret.

Turn me off, but not for long,

Sweet static — play our song.

(radio crackle fade-out, then silence)
