Static and Stars ✨⭐️💫

⸻ 🎵 “Static and Stars” (Tempo: slow, emotional — 70–80 BPM, 4/4) ⸻ [Verse 1] You showed up like a song half-played, Vinyl hum beneath the haze. Five years clean, but frost still bites, I see the cold in your eyes tonight. Your laugh is smoke through broken glass, Soft and sharp — it doesn’t last. The moon leans close, then slips away, Still, I stay. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You say the past is just a scar, But it glows like burning tar. ⸻ [Chorus] I can’t be your fire, But I’ll keep a light on the shore. If the waves start pulling you under, You’ll hear my voice in the roar. I don’t want to fix your storms — I just want to weather them too. You live in the static and stars, And I can’t tune out you. ⸻ [Verse 2] Your skin reads like a secret map, Of all the wars you never asked. I trace the lines like faint outlines, Of constellations out of time. I’m cracked glass from my own fall, Still bleeding through my empty walls. But when you breathe, I breathe too — I remember the sound of truth. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You said the night won’t let you sleep, I said the dark still talks to me. ⸻ [Chorus] I can’t be your fire, But I’ll keep a light on the shore. If the waves start pulling you under, You’ll hear my voice in the roar. I don’t want to fix your storms — I just want to weather them too. You live in the static and stars, And I can’t tune out you. ⸻ [Bridge] If you fade mid-sentence, I’ll stay awake, Guard the quiet the night might take. No saving grace, no holy vow — Just me, and you, right now. ⸻ [Final Chorus] I can’t be your fire, But I’ll keep a light on the shore. If the tide starts taking you farther, I’ll be the sound you heard before. You don’t have to burn to shine — You already do. You live in the static and stars, And I can’t tune out you. ⸻ [Outro] You’re the echo I never asked for, Still I hum it every day. If love is a ghost that lingers — I hope you choose to stay. ⸻
