Soft Static in My Chest

[Verse 1]

You trace my name

In the fog on your window

Laugh

Then wipe it away

Like it scared you to see it so clear

We talk in half-words

Let the pauses do the shouting

You ask if I'm okay

I say "yeah

I keep saying it's nothing

It's nothing

But it hums a little louder when you get closer

If this is almost-love

I confess

I don't know how to hold it

How to hold you

Soft static in my chest

Telling me the truth I can't tell you

[Verse 2]

Your shoes by the door

Like they live here on weekends

You fall asleep in my bed

Talk in dreams about someone else

I count ceiling cracks

Like the distance I won't cross

Learn your breathing by heart

Pretend I don't feel you in my pulse

[Chorus]

There's a soft static in my chest

Every time you lean your head on my shoulder (yeah)

I keep saying it's nothing

It's nothing

But it hums a little louder when you get closer

If this is almost-love

I confess

I don't know how to hold it

How to hold you

Soft static in my chest

Telling me the truth I can't tell you

[Bridge]

If I say it out loud

Do I lose you

Or lose this?

If I keep it inside

Do I lose myself instead?

[Chorus]

There's a soft static in my chest

Every time you lean your head on my shoulder (oh)

I keep saying it's nothing

It's nothing

But it hums a little louder when you get closer

If this is almost-love

I confess

I'd rather risk the silence breaking too

Soft static in my chest

Whispering I'm already

Already in love with you
