Old Wires Burning

Intro

Chorus

Saw you on the corner, hazy afternoon

Laugh fell sideways, like a busted tune

Still got that fire, wild in your grin

But these old wires, they won't spark again

Post-Chorus

Ah ah, oh woah

Ah ah, oh woah

Verse 2

Hands in our pockets, fishbone smile

We talk like the sun forgot us for a while

Every line pulled tight, every look swings wide

Stuck in a moment, both trying to hide

Pre-Chorus

But the air gets thick

Yeah, something unsaid

A magnetic slip

Runs through my head

Chorus

Saw you on the corner, hazy afternoon

Laugh fell sideways, like a busted tune

Still got that fire, wild in your grin

But these old wires, they won't spark again

Post-Chorus

Ah ah, oh woah

Ah ah, oh woah

Bridge

Static on the sidewalk, talking in code

You laugh and flick ashes, nobody knows

The chill creeps closer, heart skips a beat

It's déjà vu burning holes in the street

Outro

So we part ways, shoes scraping the tar

Questions in pockets, wishes in jars

Streetlights flicker, never rewind

You walk off whistling, I'm stuck in my mind

Tag

Dust on my fingers, ache in my throat

Your name in my mouth, sharp like a note

Street humming low, promise a ghost

Some stories fizzle right where they're most

Outro

End
