The Static

Verse 1

You talk about the static, I've felt it too

All of the noise that I'm trying to push through

A thousand little thoughts, running circles in my head

All the things I never say, all the things I never said

But when you're beside me, somehow it fades

Like the world turns down when you say my name

And I don't have to fight what I'm feeling inside

You don't ask me to change, you just stay by my side

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know how you do it

But you reach me every time

When everything gets too loud

You're the quiet in my mind

Chorus

You talk about the static, I've felt it too

You quiet mine, I think that's why I love you

When my heart is racing and I can't slow down

You're the only place where I can breathe right now

Maybe love isn't fireworks lighting up the sky

Maybe it's feeling safe when you're standing by my side

If peace has a sound, I swear it sounds like you

You talk about the static, I've felt it too

Verse 2

I've spent so long trying to hold myself together

Pretending I was fine, pretending I was better

But you see every crack I try to hide

And somehow you make me not ashamed of what's inside

You never promise that the noise will disappear

You just pull me closer when it gets too loud in here

And maybe that's the difference I never knew

I don't need someone to fix me, I just need someone like you

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know how you do it

But you reach me every time

When everything gets too loud

You're the quiet in my mind

Chorus

You talk about the static, I've felt it too

You quiet mine, I think that's why I love you

When my heart is racing and I can't slow down

You're the only place where I can breathe right now

Maybe love isn't fireworks lighting up the sky

Maybe it's feeling safe when you're standing by my side

If peace has a sound, I swear it sounds like you

You talk about the static, I've felt it too

Bridge

Maybe we're two broken radios

Trying to find the same frequency

And somehow through all the interference

You still come through to me

So if you ever wonder

Why I keep coming back to you

It's not because you silence every storm

It's because you sit with me through it too

Final Chorus

You talk about the static, I've felt it too

But somehow all the noise gets softer next to you

When my heart is racing and I can't slow down

You're the only place where I can breathe right now

Maybe love isn't perfect, maybe it isn't supposed to be

Maybe it's finding someone who makes you feel free

And if I have one truth I know I can hold onto

You talk about the static, I've felt it too

And you quiet mine, that's why I love you

Outro

You don't have to say a word

You just have to stay

When the whole world gets too loud

You make it fade away
