Static Hearts & Time-Zone Scars

Staring at a boarding pass I bought but couldn't use Three thousand miles of static on the line, I'm black and blue You're waking up in Phoenix, I'm asleep in rainy State My cheap apartment smells like instant coffee and regret I trace your collarbone through pixels on a cracked screen It's digital affection, we're a glitch in the machine And every flight delay is like a bullet to the chest I’m coughing up the distance, trying not to second-guess Static hearts and time-zone scars We're screaming at the same damn stars But the reception's cutting out again Yeah, you're a half a world away And I’m just counting down the days Until we're breaking through the oxygen No, I don't wanna sleep alone With your ghost inside my telephone Sunlight hitting asphalt, but it feels so freezing cold I’m wearing your old hoodie just to keep from letting go The local indie station’s playing songs we used to hate I’m pacing on the driveway, cursing out the interstate They say I'm chasing shadows, wasting years on what-ifs But they don't see the gravity in every single shift I’ve got a suitcase by the front door, half-packed since July Just waiting for the moment that the budget airlines fly Static hearts and time-zone scars We're screaming at the same damn stars But the reception's cutting out again Yeah, you're a half a world away And I’m just counting down the days Until we're breaking through the oxygen No, I don't wanna sleep alone With your ghost inside my telephone (Singer A) I’m sick of FaceTime dates (Singer B) I’m sick of empty space (Singer A) I’m driving ninety down the highway just to clear my brain (Singer B) I’m staring at the ceiling, listening to the rain (Both) It’s a slow burn, crash course, terminal romance Give me one last, high-speed, desperate second chance! Static hearts and time-zone scars We're screaming at the same damn stars But the reception's cutting out again Yeah, you're a half a world away And I’m just counting down the days Until we're breaking through the oxygen No, I don't wanna sleep alone With your ghost inside my telephone Just a ghost inside my telephone Three thousand miles But I'm not letting go Yeah, I'm not letting go
