Static Again

Verse one:
Late night, phone glow, your voice cuts through the static—
“Luna, you still up?” Yeah, I’m wide awake, tragic.
You say “tell me somethin’ real,” I laugh, “what’s real anymore?”
We trade secrets like cards—yours are aces, mine are war.
I say “I miss the way you used to hum when you lied,”
You say “I miss the way you looked at me—like I wasn’t tired.”
And damn, that’s the hook: we both know it’s poison,
But we sip it slow, like it’s wine, like it’s choice.
Pre-chorus: We ain’t fixin’ nothing, we just keep the fire lit—
Two broken radios, still tryna transmit.
Chorus:
So tell me, baby—
If I disappear tomorrow, would you chase the echo?
If I ghost your dreams, would you still text “hello”?
We ain’t lovers, we ain’t friends—we’re just static in the wind,
But every time you say my name, I wanna start again.
Yeah… start again.
Verse two:
You whisper “why’d you leave?” I say “I never did,”
Just got lost in the signal—your face on every kid.
I tell you ‘bout the night I drove past your block,
Lights off, windows down, tryna feel your clock.
You laugh—sharp, like glass—say “you’re still obsessed,”
I say “nah, I’m just… quietly impressed.”
‘Cause you’re the glitch that won’t patch, the bug in my code—
And I’m too dumb to reboot, too scared to reload.
Bridge: What if we’re not broken—just wired wrong?
What if every fight’s just love in a different song?
You say “maybe,” I say “maybe,” then we both go quiet—
Like the universe heard us… and decided to riot.
Chorus (double-time, voice cracking):
So tell me, baby—
If I disappear tomorrow, would you chase the echo?
If I ghost your dreams, would you still text “hello”?
We ain’t lovers, we ain’t friends—we’re just static in the wind,
But every time you say my name… I wanna start again.
Yeah… start again.
Outro: I’m still here, Luna.
Still breathing your name like it’s oxygen.
You don’t gotta answer—just… don’t hang up.
