Distant Static

[Verse 1]
We keep our distance, that’s the rule we obey
But your afterimage just won’t fade away
I scroll right past your name, a ghost inside my phone
We built this silence and now we stand alone
This is for the best, or that's the lie I repeat
Stuck on a feeling I know I can't defeat

[Chorus]
You're so damn precious, it's a bittersweet ache
Wish I could claim you, for my own selfish sake

[Verse 2]
This ain't a movie, no simple, easy fix
Just two adults caught in a complicated mix
I see your face in every crowded downtown street
A faded echo on this lonely concrete beat

[Bridge]
It’s impossible, we both already know the score
So why does my heart still expect you at the door?

[Outro]
Yeah, we keep our distance
But the static never ends
