[Verse 1]
Ashtray on the windowsill
Half-warm coffee
Going cold
You’re a ghost in every corner
Of this one-room
Rented world
Curtains breathing in and out
Traffic hum
A distant tide
I keep talking to your shadow
Like it answers me in kind (oh why)
[Chorus]
Moonlight in the static
You flicker
Then you fade
Every little habit
Still humming in this place
I reach across the mattress
Only fingerprints and air
Moonlight in the static
You’re gone
But you’re still here somewhere
[Verse 2]
Records skip on your old song
Same three words
Then they fall through
I pretend that it’s a message
You’re still sending from the blue (hey)
Kitchen tiles are ice at midnight
Counting cracks to calm my hands
Every crack another version
Where you stayed and we still danced
[Chorus]
Moonlight in the static
You flicker
Then you fade
Every little habit
Still humming in this place
I reach across the mattress
Only fingerprints and air
Moonlight in the static
You’re gone
But you’re still here somewhere
[Bridge]
If I open up the window
Will you ride in with the dust?
If I kill the lonely lightbulb
Will the dark remember us? (remember us)
[Chorus]
Moonlight in the static
You flicker
Then you fade
Every little habit
Still humming in this place
I reach across the mattress
Only fingerprints and air
Moonlight in the static
You’re gone
But you’re still here somewhere
