Static on the Grid

[Intro]
[Verse]
Seven hours ahead
Cold coffee, breakfast in bed
Takeout boxes stacked in red
All the heavy words we never said
A glitch in the binary thread
Where the hungry ghosts are fed
[Pre-Chorus]
Half-solved grid on the sill
Time is standing still
Waiting for the thrill
To climb the digital hill
[Chorus]
We map the pauses in between
The ghost of what we mean
A joke that’s half-complete
Dancing to a syncopated beat
Your laughter is a light
Breaking through the night
In the D major key
You are the melody
[Post-Chorus]
Echo in the wire
Setting clocks on fire
Higher and higher
My heart's own choir
[Verse]
Fretless lines begin to bend
Messages I never send
Broken rhythms I must mend
Waiting for the week to end
Tapping on the wood
Like I knew I should
[Pre-Chorus]
Empty plastic on the floor
Knocking at your door
I can’t take it anymore
What are we waiting for?
[Chorus]
We map the pauses in between
The ghost of what we mean
A joke that’s half-complete
Dancing to a syncopated beat
Your laughter is a light
Breaking through the night
In the D major key
You are the melody
[Bridge]
I trace the lines of your map
Falling through the gap
A sudden thunderclap
Caught in a digital trap
No more delay
Find a better way
[Chorus]
We map the pauses in between
The ghost of what we mean
A joke that’s half-complete
Dancing to a syncopated beat
Your laughter is a light
Breaking through the night
In the D major key
You are the melody
[Outro]
