Static Between Us

Verse 1

You're somewhere underneath the same moon

But it feels like another world from my room

I'm lying awake at two again

Watching the little green light say you're online

Your voice comes through my phone

A little broken, a little low

I wish I could reach through the screen

And pull you closer to me

Pre-Chorus

We talk until the morning

Even when our eyes are tired

You say you wish you were here

I say I wish I could fly

Chorus

There's static between us

But I still hear your heart

Miles on the map

Could never tear us apart

I keep calling your name

When I miss you at night

And even through the distance

You still feel like home tonight

There's static between us

A thousand miles of blue

But if I close my eyes

I can almost reach you

Verse 2

I keep your pictures beside my bed

And replay every word you said

Counting down the days until

I get to hold you for real

Your hoodie still hangs on my chair

Like a little piece of you is there

I wear it when the nights get cold

And pretend your arms are holding me close

Pre-Chorus

Sometimes the time zones hurt

Sometimes I just want you here

Sometimes I hate this distance

More than I can say

But you always tell me

"Baby, we're gonna make it through"

So I keep looking at the stars

Knowing you're looking too

Chorus

There's static between us

But I still hear your heart

Miles on the map

Could never tear us apart

I keep calling your name

When I miss you at night

And even through the distance

You still feel like home tonight

There's static between us

A thousand miles of blue

But if I close my eyes

I can almost reach you

Verse 3

We've learned each other's schedules

Memorized the times you sleep

I know when you're having a bad day

Before you even tell me

You send me pictures of the sky

I send you mine from the other side

And for a second it feels like

We're underneath the same light

I wish I could kiss you goodnight

Instead of typing three little words

I wish I could wake up beside you

Instead of waiting for your first "good morning"

Bridge

Maybe distance is just a test

Of how badly we want what comes next

Maybe every lonely night

Is one night closer to your side

So keep your hand on your heart

I'll keep mine on mine

Until the day we're finally

Standing underneath the same sky

No more screens

No more countdowns

No more watching airplanes

Wondering when you're coming home

Final Chorus

There's static between us

But I still hear your heart

Miles on the map

Could never tear us apart

I keep calling your name

When I miss you at night

And even through the distance

You still feel like home tonight

There's static between us

But the signal's coming through

And every little piece of me

Is still reaching out to you

There's static between us

But I know we'll make it through

Until the miles disappear

I'll keep coming back to you

Outro

Same moon

Different bedroom

Same stars

Different view

Goodnight, my love

I'll see you soon

There's static between us

But never enough

To make me stop loving you
