Lyrics
Intro
Hmm
Yeah
Verse 1
Frost biting deep on the porch railing
Four a.m. wind keeps on wailing
Stumbling down the wooden steps
Freezing cold and I haven't even slept
Found the cable hanging by the door
Should have done this the night before
Pre-Chorus
Green leaves on the vanity plate
Empty tank at a charging gate
Five miles left in the biting air
Chorus
Searching for the copper wire
Looking for a spark to hire
Trying to be a better man
Working through a broken plan
Where do I plug it in
Where do I plug it in
Wonder why it has to be this hard
Standing in a lonely yard
Post-Chorus
Searching
Finding
Hoping
Verse 2
Tapping on the glass screen map
Everything is just a trap
No open port in this entire town
Broken hardware always lets me down
Paid my dues to the rising sun
Now I'm stuck before I've even begun
Pre-Chorus
Green leaves on the vanity plate
Empty tank at a charging gate
Ten hours left till the morning flare
Chorus
Searching for the copper wire
Looking for a spark to hire
Trying to be a better man
Working through a broken plan
Where do I plug it in
Where do I plug it in
Wonder why it has to be this hard
Standing in a lonely yard
Bridge
Copper wire
Higher wire
Blue fire
Buying a dream on a credit line
Hoping the weather turns out fine
Keeping it clean
Keeping it green
Living for a future I haven't seen
Chorus
Searching for the copper wire
Looking for a spark to hire
Trying to be a better man
Working through a broken plan
Where do I plug it in
Where do I plug it in
Wonder why it has to be this hard
Standing in a lonely yard
Post-Chorus
Plug it in
Plug it in
Searching
Waiting
Wondering why it's hard
Hard on the soul
Hard on the road
