Verse 1
We talk like it’s nothing, just passing time
But every word feels like crossing a line
You keep it cool, I play it light
But something’s buzzing underneath tonight
Little pauses, little signs
Your voice gets softer between the lines
You laugh it off, but I can tell
There’s something neither of us will spell
Pre-Chorus
We’re standing close, but we don’t move
Like one wrong step might tell the truth
Chorus
There’s static in the air when you say my name
Like lightning right before the rain
We act like we don’t feel the spark
But it’s glowing in the dark
Every joke just hides the fact
We’re one touch from heart attack
You and I in this electric traffic
Trying not to crash in the static
Verse 2
You switch the topic, change the tone
But your silence hits my headphones
Every “haha”, every delay
Says more than what you let me hear you say
We’re experts at almost
Masters of getting close
Circling round what we both know
Too careful to let it show
Pre-Chorus
So we breathe slow, keep control
While tension climbs from soul to soul
Chorus
There’s static in the air when you say my name
Like lightning right before the rain
We act like we don’t feel the spark
But it’s glowing in the dark
Every joke just hides the fact
We’re one touch from heart attack
You and I in this electric traffic
Trying not to crash in the static
Bridge (soft, intimate)
If I leaned in, just a little more
Would you stop me — or close the door?
Are we scared of what might start
Or scared it’s already in our hearts?
Final Chorus (bigger)
There’s static in the air, can’t you feel the charge
Like we’re standing at the edge too far
Still pretending we’re just fine
While electricity climbs
We’re dancing on that fragile line
Between your world and mine
One more second and we’ll have it
No escape from the static
