Left in the Static

(Verse 1)

Cold coffee on the counter,

Another text I’ll never send,

Your ghost still in the hallway,

Where our fights would always end.

I play the songs you used to hum,

They skip like we used to do,

Funny how the quiet now

Still talks about you.

(Chorus)

You left me in the static,

Fadin’ out like midnight radio,

One minute we were magic,

Next you were gone before I’d know.

Now I’m stuck between your echoes,

And the hum of what we were,

Yeah, you left me in the static,

And I still hear your words.

(Verse 2)

I still keep your sweater folded,

Even though it’s summer now,

Guess I hold onto small things,

‘Cause I can’t let go somehow.

You said you needed time to breathe,

Didn’t say you’d never come back,

Now I measure days in memories,

And nights in what I lack.

(Chorus)

You left me in the static,

Fadin’ out like midnight radio,

One minute we were magic,

Next you were gone before I’d know.

Now I’m stuck between your echoes,

And the hum of what we were,

Yeah, you left me in the static,

And I still hear your words.

(Bridge – soft, almost whispered)

Maybe you forgot me fast,

Maybe I was just a phase,

But I’m still here replayin’

All our yesterdays.

(Outro)

So I’ll sit here with the static,

Let the record spin too slow,

‘Cause even though you vanished…

You’re the only sound I know.
