Between The Static And Stars

The sky feels bigger than it should tonight

Streetlights hum like they know my name

I count the cracks in the concrete

Like they’re proof that I’m still here

Windows glow with borrowed lives

Every laugh feels miles away

I’m orbiting empty rooms

Trying not to fade

I scream into the quiet

But it comes back as rain

If love is a signal

I’m lost in the static again

The world is so wide

And I’m so small inside it

Every road leads somewhere

Just never to you

I don’t need forever

I don’t need the stars aligned

I just want your hand

In this endless night

Maps don’t show where the heart goes numb

Or how silence learns your shape

I wear my hope like a worn-out jacket

Too thin to keep me safe

Crowds move like passing planets

Everyone’s gravity strong

I’m drifting through conversations

Like I don’t belong

If love is a language

I never was taught

I keep mouthing your name

Like it’s all that I’ve got

The world is so wide

And I’m so small inside it

Every road leads somewhere

Just never to you

I don’t need perfection

I don’t need a sign

I just want your warmth

In this cold, open sky

Maybe I’m asking too much

Maybe I’m late to the truth

But even a flicker of light

Could pull me back to you

I don’t want to conquer the dark

I don’t want to be brave

I just don’t want to feel

This alone in a crowded place

The world is so wide

But I still believe

There’s a place where your heartbeat

Is waiting for me

I don’t need saving

I don’t need a plan

Just tell me I’m seen

Just tell me I can

If love is out there

Between stars and wires

I’ll stay awake

Till it finds me tired

Till it finds me…

Here.
