[Intro] [instrumental] [Verse 1] You taste like static on a late night station Bare feet dancing in the kitchen vibration Your old black tee and that chipped red ring Off key harmony to my favorite thing You draw hearts on the fogged up pane City lights flicker on and off in your name You say love is just a radio glitch But you smile like a secret in a power switch [Pre Chorus] Turn the volume down, then spin it up high Whisper in my ear, then look me in the eye Every quiet word, every little scream Feels like feedback from a perfect dream [Chorus] You are my quiet, you are my noise Soft little tremor, wrecking all my poise Sweet like sugar on a cracked back street Wild like thunder in my steady heartbeat If the world cuts out and the sky goes dim I will still tune in to the signal of you again [Verse 2] We take the long way just to waste some gas Laughing at the saints painted on the overpass You drum your fingers on the steering wheel Like you are testing what is fake and what is real You say forever like a joke you stole But it lands heavy in my animal soul I trace constellations on your wrist in the dark Trying not to scare off the flickering spark [Pre Chorus] Turn the volume down, then spin it up high Whisper in my ear, then look me in the eye Every quiet word, every little scream Feels like feedback from a perfect dream [Chorus] You are my quiet, you are my noise Soft little tremor, wrecking all my poise Sweet like sugar on a cracked back street Wild like thunder in my steady heartbeat If the world cuts out and the sky goes dim I will still tune in to the signal of you again [Bridge] Maybe we are nothing but a blown out speaker Paper cone heart getting weaker and weaker Maybe we are everything the love songs warned Two bright wires that were never meant to be worn But when your head falls heavy on my chest at night All the broken circuits suddenly feel right [Breakdown] (no guitars, just bass and drums) You breathe in, I breathe out Soft as a secret, loud as a shout You breathe in, I breathe out This is what the noise is all about [Chorus] You are my quiet, you are my noise Soft little tremor, wrecking all my poise Sweet like sugar on a cracked back street Wild like thunder in my steady heartbeat If the world cuts out and the sky goes dim I will still tune in to the signal of you again [Outro] Fade the lights to a low soft green Leave the mess exactly where it has been Turn the dial till the static runs clean You and me humming in the space in between
