Tires hum down the interstate, I left the lights and came too late. Your voice still buzzes through the wire, I can’t turn down that ghostly choir. The nights are long, the tape rewinds, The static burns through fragile lines. I see your face in every glow, Of the TV dying slow. [Pre-Chorus] All the noise just fades away, But I still hear the words you’d say… [Chorus] Its just the loner— calling out my name, Every broken frequency still sounds the same. I tried to let the silence fall, But the memories scream through it all. Yeah, echoes in the static — won’t let go. [Verse 2] The window hums a low refrain, I chase your shadow through the rain. Every song we loved still bleeds, Through busted amps and tangled leads. The ashtray’s full, the night won’t end, Can’t rewind, can’t just pretend. Every hum beneath the floor, Feels like your voice once more. [Bridge] (Clean guitars, drums soften) I drove past that old motel, Where we swore we’d never tell. Now it’s empty, just the hum, Of what we were — what we’ve become. (Feedback builds… drums kick in again) [Guitar Solo 🎸]
