[Verse 1] I hear the floorboards breathing in the dark, (in the dark) Counting miles from the fire to the spark. There’s a ghost in the kitchen, a mark on the wall; We’re building a kingdom in a narrow hall. I see your eyes in the mirror of the rain, Trying to remember how to hold the pain Without the sting, without the debt, Living in the things we haven’t said yet. [Chorus] It’s just static in the hallway, (static in the hall!) White noise cutting through the blue~. I’m reaching through the frequency Just to find a way to you~. (Ooh ooh) Yeah, we’re humming in the wires, Tangled in the mess we made, Waiting on the lights to flicker Before the colours start to fade~. (start to fade~) [Verse 2] I watch you put your makeup on, Trying to look like you~. (look like you) Pink or red, the hue won’t matter; Neither one gets through. The fridge hums like a dying amp, While we stand on either side. A kiss pressed to a cold pillow, With the doorway open wide~. (open wide~) [Chorus] It’s just static in the hallway, (static in the hall!) White noise cutting through the blue~. I’m reaching through the frequency Just to find a way to you~. (a way to you) Yeah, we’re humming in the wires, Tangled in the mess we made, Waiting on the lights to flicker Before the colours start to fade~. [Build] [Rising feedback and pounding drums] (Ahhh~ ahhh~ AHHH~~!) [Bridge] [Drums drop out] A pane of glass between us, And I’m pressing both hands to it, Knuckles white, breath gone thin, Feeling the cold bite back. No one said it would be easy, And DAMN, this is hard. I’m clawing at a dead fuse box, Fingers shaking, mouth full of blood. [Full band crashes in] I CAN’T PULL YOU CLOSER! (PULL YOU CLOSER!) I CAN’T PUNCH THROUGH THE HAZE! (THROUGH THE HAZE!) I CAN’T FORCE THE CURRENT! (FORCE THE CURRENT!) I CAN’T MAKE THE SIGNAL CLEAR! (MAKE IT CLEAR!) But if you’re reaching through the static, I’m still here. I’M STILL HERE~~! (STILL HERE!) [Final Chorus] There’s still static in the hallway, (static in the hallway!) But I finally hear you too~. (finally hear you!) No clean line, no perfect frequency, Just a signal breaking through~. (BREAKING THROUGH!) Yeah, we’re humming in the wires, Still tangled in what remains, But the lights are burning brighter, And I recognise your face~. (your face~) [Outro] [Heartbeat kick and guitar feedback] There’s still static in the hallway… (static~) But underneath the white noise, I can still hear you~. I’m still reaching for you~~. (Reaching for you~) (Still here~) [Short Guitar Solo] [Final distorted strike]
