[Verse 1] She keeps the radio talking Just to fill the room Lights shine through the window Painting dreams on the wall He reads the same page over Doesn’t turn the light Says he’s thinking clearly But he’s drifting every night [Verse 2] She says the city’s changing Nothing feels the same Faces in the station Never looking up again He checks the clock beside him Every fifteen minutes Like time might give an answer If he stares hard enough at it [Chorus] There’s static between us Something we don’t say Words fall into silence Then just fade away There’s static between us Running through the line We’re talking to each other But we’re losing time [Verse 3] She keeps her coat on longer Even when it’s warm Like she might be leaving Before another storm He says he’s staying steady But his hands don’t lie Tapping on the table Like he’s waiting for goodbye [Chorus] There’s static between us Something we don’t say Words fall into silence Then just fade away There’s static between us Running through the line We’re talking to each other But we’re losing time [Outro] Radio keeps playing Neither turns it down Two voices in the background No one hears the sound Static between us Still there in the night Talking without meaning Waiting for the light
