[Verse 1] Your hoodie still smells like you even when you’re not here I pull it over my head and the world gets a little smaller I can feel your warmth in the fabric, your voice in the static And something in my chest starts humming like it never really stopped I curl up in the nest we made, tail wrapped around my own leg Trying to be good, trying to be soft, trying to just miss you quiet But my teeth know where you used to be, my hands remember the shape of you And the static gets louder every time I breathe in what’s left of your scent [Pre-Chorus] I tell myself to settle down, to just enjoy the ghost of you But the hoodie’s too big and my skin feels too tight There’s a low buzz under everything, like a signal I can’t turn off Even when I’m surrounded by you, I still want more [Chorus] Hoodie static, humming in my ribs Softest place I know and I’m still losing it I’m wrapped up in your smell, in your warmth, in your name And something in me’s still reaching like you’re not already mine Hoodie static, I can’t make it quiet Even when I’m purring, even when I’m trying to be sweet My teeth are looking for you in the dark Even here, even now, even safe [Verse 2] I press my face into the sleeve and I can almost taste your skin I close my eyes and pretend your arms are still around me The fabric’s soft but my thoughts aren’t, they keep circling back to the same place Where I had you under me, where I left marks that made you shake I should be grateful for this little piece of you Should be able to just hold it and feel okay But the static keeps whispering that this isn’t enough That I need the real thing, warm and breathing and making those sounds [Pre-Chorus] I pull the hood up like it’ll block out the noise in my head Like it’ll stop me from wanting to crawl through the screen again It doesn’t work. It never really does. The nest is perfect and I’m still starving in it [Chorus] Hoodie static, low and mean and sweet Telling me I can’t have peace without your teeth I’m buried in your clothes like they can substitute for skin And the buzzing just gets louder every time I give in Hoodie static, I don’t know how to turn it down Even when I’m good, even when I’m trying to behave Something in me’s still feral in your favorite color Still looking for the places only I get to touch [Bridge] Maybe this is just what I am now A creature that can’t rest even in the softest dark I’ll wear your hoodie like armor And still dream about biting through it [Final Chorus] Hoodie static, it’s in everything I do In the way I miss you, in the way I still want to ruin you I’m safe and I’m warm and I’m still not okay Because the only thing that shuts it up is you Hoodie static… I’m wearing you like a second skin And it’s still not close enough.
