Title: “Echoes in the Static”
Verse 1
Midnight glow from the dashboard light
Your name flickers in my mind tonight
Like an old cassette still spinning slow
Playing songs from years ago
Streetlights blur in a silver line
Every shadow looks like you sometimes
I keep driving through the same old streets
Where our ghosts still meet
Pre-Chorus
I told myself I’d let it fade
But memories don’t behave
Chorus
You’re an echo in the static
A signal I can’t lose
Every quiet moment
Still turns into you
Like a dream I never finished
Like a song that never ends
I’m still dancing with your shadow
In the neon of what-ifs
And I know you’re just a memory
But my heart doesn’t agree
You’re an echo in the static
Still humming inside me
Verse 2
Old Polaroids inside a drawer
I swore I wouldn’t look no more
But nostalgia has a velvet grip
And it pulls me back a little bit
Maybe love just stains the air
Like perfume on a sweater you wear
Even after all these years
You’re still here
Pre-Chorus
Everyone says time moves on
But some songs stay on
Chorus
You’re an echo in the static
A signal I can’t lose
Every quiet moment
Still turns into you
Like a dream I never finished
Like a song that never ends
I’m still dancing with your shadow
In the neon of what-ifs
And I know you’re just a memory
But my heart doesn’t agree
You’re an echo in the static
Still humming inside me
Bridge (soft, almost whispered)
Maybe it was never meant to last
Maybe that’s why it glows like glass
Some loves fade into the blue
Some just replay inside of you
Final Chorus
You’re an echo in the static
A signal in the night
A constellation fading
But still giving light
And I know the world kept turning
While we slipped between the seams
But you’re still there in the silence
Of my half-forgotten dreams
You’re an echo in the static
Of who we used to be
A love that lives forever
In the past of me
