Static hearts

Lyrics

Intro
Midnight skyline, broken halo
Your name glowing through my phone
Everybody talks like they know love
But they don’t know what we know
White noise in the backseat
Red lights on your skin
You said “nothing lasts forever”
Then you pulled me in
Verse 1
We were kids in oversized hoodies
Running wild through the parking lots
Making kingdoms out of cheap drinks
Trying hard to be something we’re not
You had stars inside your eyeliner
I had storms behind my teeth
We were dancing on the edge of heaven
Like the world was ours to keep
And your voice still lives in my headphones
Like a ghost inside the bass
Every song sounds like a warning
Every city has your face
Pre-Chorus
And I know
Nothing gold survives the night
But your shadow in the neon
Still burns behind my eyes
Chorus
We were static hearts
Electric in the dark
Setting fire to the silence
Leaving fingerprints on stars
And if the world tears us apart
I’ll still find you where you are
In the smoke, in the lights
In the wreckage of our hearts
Oh-oh-oh
We were infinite for a moment
Oh-oh-oh
Now I’m chasing what we started
Static hearts
Static hearts
Verse 2
2AM at the gas station
Rain dripping from your hair
You were laughing like the movies
Like nothing bad could happen there
We said “one day we’ll be famous”
While we carved dreams into the dash
Now your pictures fade like polaroids
And the future moves too fast
I still hear the sirens singing
Through the avenue at night
And every stranger’s silhouette
Looks like you beneath the lights
Pre-Chorus
Cause we were young enough to believe
Love could outrun anything
But forever’s just a word
People whisper when they leave
Chorus
We were static hearts
Electric in the dark
Setting fire to the silence
Leaving fingerprints on stars
And if the world tears us apart
I’ll still find you where you are
In the smoke, in the lights
In the wreckage of our hearts
Oh-oh-oh
We were infinite for a moment
Oh-oh-oh
Now I’m drowning in the echoes
Static hearts
Static hearts
Bridge – half-time / emotional drop
Maybe we were just a glitch in the system
Two lost souls with a beautiful collision
Maybe love is just a temporary religion
But you—
You felt real
Even when the city turned against us
Even when the nights became dangerous
Even now your memory’s contagious
And I can’t heal
No, I can’t heal
Build-Up
So if you hear this in another life
If another boy is holding you tonight
Tell me do you still remember
Rooftops in December?
Do you still replay my voice
When the room gets quiet?
Do you still wear my ghost
Like a riot?
Final Chorus – bigger / cinematic
We were static hearts
Exploding in the dark
Running reckless through the chaos
Like we’d never fall apart
And even if you’ve gone too far
You’re the anthem in my scars
In the smoke, in the lights
In the beating of my heart
Oh-oh-oh
We were infinite for a moment
Oh-oh-oh
Now your echo keeps me going
Static hearts
Static hearts
Outro
Midnight skyline, broken halo
Your name fading from my phone
Everybody talks like they know love
But they never knew us
No…
They never knew us.
