[Verse 1]
I’m pacing grooves in the kitchen tile
Phone face‑down like it’s on trial
Practiced lines on a loop
Then I choke
Tongue tied
Every word stays a joke
All my friends say “just hit send”
But I rewrite every text again
Sweaty hands
Heart slap in my chest
Overthinking every stupid breath
[Chorus]
I want the static out of my head
Turn this panic into something I said
Rip the bandage
Let it bleed red
(yeah, yeah)
If I crash
At least I’ll know
Did you ever wanna take this slow?
I’m done rehearsing
Say it instead
I want the static out of my head
[Verse 2]
You’re laughing wild in your thrift‑store coat
You steal my fries
Steal my air
My notes
I fake a yawn so I don’t spill truth
Bite my tongue like a nervous tooth
[Male backing]
You’re not subtle when you look that way
You tap your heel like you wanna stay
[Female lead]
I write “hey
Can we talk?” then erase
Scared to watch your eyes read my face
[Chorus]
I want the static out of my head
Turn this panic into something I said
Rip the bandage
Let it bleed red
(oh woah)
If I crash
At least I’ll know
Did you ever wanna take this slow?
I’m done rehearsing
Say it instead
I want the static out of my head
[Bridge]
[Half‑time
Drums drop back]
My thumb hovers over your name
I’m so tired of this self‑made cage
I hit call
Hear the ringing start
Every heartbeat louder than my heart
[Male backing
Low]
“Hey
What’s up?”
[Female lead]
“I like you more
Than my fear of hitting the floor”
Silence hangs for a single beat
Then you say
“God
I hoped you’d speak” (hey!)
[Chorus]
Now there’s no static in my head
Just your laughter living there instead
Took the risk and it burned my dread
(yeah, yeah)
If we crash
At least we’ll know
But your hand’s already saying “don’t go”
Done with hiding
This is what’s said
You pulled the static out of my head
