Mismatched Static

[Intro]
[Verse]
The dashboard light is flickering blue
I’m staring at the ghost of you
That mismatched sock on a silver ring
The stupidest, smallest, heaviest thing
It swings and hits the plastic dash
Like every word that made us crash
[Pre-Chorus]
Rain on the windshield, a blurry screen
I’m driving to places I’ve never been
Quietly humming a song you hate
Wondering if it’s already too late
[Chorus]
Scream it out to the neon sign
I’m losing my grip and I’m losing my mind
The strip mall is empty and soaked in the gray
Why did you have to go walk away?
I’m bitter, I’m broken, I’m burning up fast
Waiting for this hollow feeling to pass
[Verse]
I’m pacing past the closed-down gym
The coffee shop lights are looking dim
My sneakers are soaked through the canvas toe
I’ve got nowhere left for me to go
Your voice is a ringing inside my ears
Drowning in salt and these suburban tears
[Pre-Chorus]
The acoustic guitar starts to play
Washing the anger and static away
But the longing is heavy, it’s pulling me down
To the bottom of this ghost-quiet town
[Chorus]
Scream it out to the neon sign
I’m losing my grip and I’m losing my mind
The strip mall is empty and soaked in the gray
Why did you have to go walk away?
I’m bitter, I’m broken, I’m burning up fast
Waiting for this hollow feeling to pass
[Bridge]
I’m kicking the puddles and cursing your name
Everything’s different but feels just the same
The keychain is swinging, it’s mocking my chest
I’m a disaster, a beautiful mess
I’m screaming until my throat starts to bleed
You were the only thing I didn't need
[Chorus]
Scream it out to the neon sign
I’m losing my grip and I’m losing my mind
The strip mall is empty and soaked in the gray
Why did you have to go walk away?
I’m bitter, I’m broken, I’m burning up fast
Waiting for this hollow feeling to pass
[Post-Chorus]
Just a mismatched sock
On a ticking clock
Just a suburban ghost
What I hate the most
[Outro]
