[Intro — 0:00–0:25] (Instrumental: repeating bass riff, tight drums, chiming guitar) [Verse 1] The television paints the room In shades of artificial blue The clock is crawling up the wall I hear the city make its call My shoes are waiting by the door I've seen this picture all before Another night, another face Another beautiful mistake [Pre-Chorus] And all the lights begin to shake There's nothing left for us to fake I feel the rhythm in my bones It's time to leave these walls alone [Chorus] We're running through the static Dancing like we never had a name Everything is automatic But tonight we're never quite the same Running through the static Hearts are beating faster than the rain If the world is going nowhere Let it never find us here again [Instrumental Hook — 1:45–2:05] (Bass melody repeats; bright guitar answers the vocal hook) [Verse 2] The pavement shines beneath our feet The midnight pulses with the beat You turn around and start to smile As if we've been gone for a while The buildings lean against the sky We let the passing hours fly No destination, no excuse Nothing to lose and nothing to prove [Pre-Chorus] And all the lights begin to shake There's nothing left for us to fake I feel the rhythm in my bones We're not going home alone [Chorus] We're running through the static Dancing like we never had a name Everything is automatic But tonight we're never quite the same Running through the static Hearts are beating faster than the rain If the world is going nowhere Let it never find us here again [Instrumental Break — 3:05–3:45] (Extended danceable bass groove, interlocking guitars, steady drums, no vocals) [Bridge — 3:45–4:05] Maybe morning brings it back All the colour turning black Maybe none of this is real But I know exactly what I feel [Final Chorus — 4:05–4:45] We're running through the static Dancing like we never had a name Everything is automatic But tonight we're never quite the same Running through the static Hear the city calling out again If the world is going nowhere Let it never find us here again [Outro — 4:45–5:00] Running through the static (Running through the static) Instrumental bass riff and ringing guitar ending. [Fade out] [End]
