Lyrics

Intro

Yeah...

It’s getting quiet in this room.

Just me and the ghost

Verse

Coffee cup is cold, sitting by the window ledge

Reflection of the city lights is all I see

You said we’d be forever, said the stars were on our side

But now the sky’s just grey, with nowhere left to ride

My phone is lighting up, but it’s not from you

Just notifications saying "What are you doing now?"

I answer with a silence, let the battery die

Watching the hours tick by, under neon sky.

Pre-chorus

Time feels like it’s stuck in a broken frame (Broken frame)

I’m running in circles just to say your name

The silence is screaming, louder than the street

I’m paralyzed here, waiting for the beat.

Chorus

So, tell me where does it go?

When a love turns into static in the rain?

I’m chasing shadows in the hallway of your soul

But there’s no one left to call.

Yeah, you’re fading like a signal in the wire

Leaving me cold as the freezing fire.

Baby, don’t let it end without a sound

Just static in the rain.

Verse

Still wearing that jacket, smell of you on the collar

Trying to fix the clock but we broke the collar

It’s weird how a room gets bigger when you disappear

Like the walls are closing in to hold me all alone

I find your old voice notes, playing them at night

Tearing down the walls just to see the light

But it’s just a melody that I can’t rewrite.

Pre-chorus

Time feels like it’s stuck in a broken frame (Oh, so far away)

I’m running in circles just to say your name (Can I?)

The silence is screaming, louder than the street (Louder than the street)

I’m paralyzed here, waiting for the beat.

Chorus

So, tell me where does it go?

When a love turns into static in the rain?

I’m chasing shadows in the hallway of your soul

But there’s no one left to call.

Yeah, you’re fading like a signal in the wire

Leaving me cold as the freezing fire.

Baby, don’t let it end without a sound

Just static in the rain.

Bridge

Can we rewind the tape?

Can we freeze the moment before the break?

I know you’re going far, I know you’re far away

But can’t you see I’m drowning in the disarray?

(Build up)

Yeah, drowning!

In the disarray!

(Melodic, softer flow)

I see the text bubble typing and then it disappears

Guess you found the exit while your love disappeared

I’m a pixelated memory, glitching on the screen

Trying to hold the image of the things that we seen

Now it’s just me and the echo in the dark

Trying to light a match within a spark

You said forever was the limit

But you chose the ending.

Chorus

So, tell me where does it go?

When a love turns into static in the rain?

I’m chasing shadows in the hallway of your soul

But there’s no one left to call.

Yeah, you’re fading like a signal in the wire

Leaving me cold as the freezing fire.

Baby, don’t let it end without a sound

Just static in the rain.

Outro

(Beat fades out, piano returns alone)

Static in the rain...

Just static in the rain...

Don’t go...
