Static Ember

[Intro] Faint static hums through the empty wire Pale blue light bleeds across the tired sky [Verse 1] I walked the cracked asphalt where the streetlights died Your old hoodie slung over my side We traced constellations on a phone screen glow Said we’d outrun the undertow The city breathes slow, neon bleeds thin I still catch your shadow in the wind No map, no end, just the hum of the road Every memory’s a spark I still hold [Chorus] We burned bright like embers in the rain Chased the static through the haze and the pain Floating higher than the cloud line we named Nothing’s ever gonna take that away We burned bright like embers in the rain Chased the static through the haze and the pain Floating higher than the cloud line we named Nothing’s ever gonna take that away [Verse 2] I found the ticket stub tucked in my coat edge The date faded soft, the ink almost shed We screamed the lyrics to our favorite song While the stereo crackled all night long The world felt small, like it belonged to us No goodbyes, no weight, no rush I still replay that frame in my mind Every beat’s a place I can find you still [Chorus] We burned bright like embers in the rain Chased the static through the haze and the pain Floating higher than the cloud line we named Nothing’s ever gonna take that away We burned bright like embers in the rain Chased the static through the haze and the pain Floating higher than the cloud line we named Nothing’s ever gonna take that away [Bridge] The layers rise, the static swells I can hear your voice in the overlapping spells We don’t need ground, we don’t need time This spark’s gonna outshine the dark tonight [Outro] Pitched chops echo through the rising tide Our light never dies
