Static On The Line

Verse 1

When I picked up the phone

You were there on the other side

I said I miss you, honey

But you took a long time to reply

Verse 2

After a couple of minutes

We started talkin' real slow

It took me half an hour

Just to say, "Hey, how'd you know?"

Pre-Chorus

You said, "Baby, what's wrong?

The signal's not quite clear"

I said, "Honey, the problem

Ain't nothing that you can hear"

Chorus

When there's static on the line

It's hard to know what I'm feeling inside

No, it just don't come through

When it's me calling you

And there's static on the line

Verse 3

You asked me what I was thinking

I said I had nothing to say

We talked about the weather

'Cause there was nothing else anyway

Verse 4

I wanted to tell ya

But the words just weren't right

When I finally hung up

I knew I'd be calling tonight

Pre-Chorus

'Cause the truth is I love ya

But I can't even say that

I guess that's the reason

I keep right on calling you back

Chorus

'Cause when there's static on the line

It's hard to say what's been on my mind

No, it just won't come through

When it's me calling you

And there's static on the line

Yeah, when there's static on the line

It's hard to know what I'm feeling inside

No, it just won't come through

When it's me calling you

Bridge

When there's static on the line

Yeah, when there's static on the line

Chorus

When there's static on the line

I can't express all the things I know are true

It just won't come through

When it's me calling you

And when there's static on the line

It's hard to say what's been on my mind

No, it just won't come through

When it's me calling you

Outro

When there's static on the line

No, it just won't come through

When it's me calling you

When there's static on the line

I can't express all the things I know are true

No, it just won't come through

When it's me calling you

When there's static on the line

It's hard to say what's been on my mind

No, it just won't come through

When it's me calling you

When there's static on the line

Yeah, when there's static on the line

When there's static on the line

It's hard to say what's been on my mind

No, it just won't come through

When it's me calling you
