[Verse 1]
Your voice comes through in waves and dips,
Miles wrapped around every word you send,
I trace the sound of you through the wire,
Patient, static, but it's still desire,
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't need it clean, don't need it clear,
Just need to know that you're still here,
Through the hiss and the hum and the fade,
Love's still standing, unafraid,
[Chorus]
It's just static on the line, baby,
But I hear you, I hear you,
Every crack, every break in your voice,
Still the truest sound I know,
Distance can't erase you, can't replace you,
Static on the line, but the love gets through,
Static on the line, still it's you, still it's you,
[Verse 2]
Signal drops right when you say my name,
I fill the silence with the shape of your face,
Three-second delay but I know your smile,
The pause before laughter, that gap, that space,
We built a language out of broken sound,
Learned to love each other with the connection down,
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't need it clean, don't need it clear,
Just need to know that you're still here,
Through the hiss and the hum and the fade,
Love's still standing, unafraid,
[Chorus]
It's just static on the line, baby,
But I hear you, I hear you,
Every crack, every break in your voice,
Still the truest sound I know,
Distance can't erase you, can't replace you,
Static on the line, but the love gets through,
Static on the line, still it's you, still it's you,
[Bridge]
Maybe love ain't supposed to be smooth,
Maybe it's the glitch that proves it's true,
'Cause a perfect call from a stranger's tongue,
Ain't got nothing on this broken one, no,
This broken one, it's ours to keep,
Static and silence, still we speak,
[Outro]
(Hold the phone closer)
Even when it cuts, even when it drops,
I'll call you right back till the feeling stops,
Static on the line... but you're still mine,
Static on the line... still mine, still mine,
Nothing playing
