Static in the Silence

Verse 1
There’s a glow from your apartment window
Fourth floor, I still know the light
You said nothing ever really changes
But you couldn’t stay the night

And I’m walking past the same old corners
Where we used to waste our time
Now it’s quiet, but it’s louder somehow
With you running through my mind

⸻

Pre-Chorus (hazy, distant)
And I don’t wanna say it out loud
But you’re everywhere I go now

⸻

Chorus (dreamy, floating)
It’s like static in the silence
You don’t speak but I still hear you
In the spaces you left behind
Like a ghost I’m holding onto

And I try to let it fade out
But it lingers like a sound
I can’t turn off, can’t escape now
Just keeps pulling me back down

⸻

Verse 2
You were distant in a way I liked
Never fully mine to keep
Always just a little out of reach
Like a secret I could almost see

And I wonder if you think about me
Or if I’m just passing through
Like a moment you barely noticed
But it stayed with me like truth

⸻

Pre-Chorus
I replay it in my head again
Every word you never said

⸻

Chorus
It’s like static in the silence
You don’t speak but I still hear you
In the spaces you left behind
Like a ghost I’m holding onto

And I try to let it fade out
But it lingers like a sound
I can’t turn off, can’t escape now
Just keeps pulling me back down

⸻

Bridge (cinematic, emotional swell)
Maybe we were just a feeling
Not something meant to stay
But I keep chasing what we almost were
Like it didn’t slip away

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger but still airy)
It’s like static in the silence
Fading in but never gone
You’re a song I keep repeating
Even when I know it’s wrong

And I try to let it fade out
But it echoes underground
In the quiet, in the distance
You’re the thing I never found
