The Static and the Sky

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cardboard boxes on the floor
I don't live here anymore
Faded flyers on the wall
From the shows that had it all
Cracked Nintendo on the shelf
Talking to my younger self
Pack the memories in the tape
Planning out my great escape
[Pre-Chorus]
The dust is settling down
I'm leaving this old town
The road is looking clear
Facing every single fear
[Chorus]
I’m chasing down the light
Across the coast tonight
A thousand miles to go
Everything I used to know
Is staying in this room
While the engine starts to boom
Yeah I’m trading in the past
For a love that’s gonna last
[Post-Chorus]
It’s a long way down
To the edge of town
Where the lights are brown
And the shadows drown
[Verse]
Found the letter in the drawer
Still a ghost from years before
Half-finished verses on the page
Like a bird inside a cage
We were kings of empty streets
Making lo-fi bedroom beats
Now the static fills the air
With the secrets that we share
[Pre-Chorus]
Looking in the mirror now
Making a silent vow
To keep the fire bright
In the middle of the night
[Chorus]
I’m chasing down the light
Across the coast tonight
A thousand miles to go
Everything I used to know
Is staying in this room
While the engine starts to boom
Yeah I’m trading in the past
For a love that’s gonna last
[Bridge]
The nylon strings are humming
I can hear the future coming
It’s a bittersweet goodbye
Underneath a purple sky
No more hiding in the shade
Watch the old reflections fade
[Hook]
Don’t look back
The sky is turning black
But the stars are on track
Yeah we’re never coming back
[Chorus]
I’m chasing down the light
Across the coast tonight
A thousand miles to go
Everything I used to know
Is staying in this room
While the engine starts to boom
Yeah I’m trading in the past
For a love that’s gonna last
[Outro]
