Static on the Wire Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This empty night
Reflected on the room
Shapes begin to slide
Moving around one another
From out the TV glow
Another perfect voice
Well ask them what you want
I said I'm waiting to find your recover
Clutch your phone in bed
The heat will warm your hand
The power of desponse
Like something you find in a letter
Someone you know
Will give you a call
Just to let you know
We're hoping to find you're better

[Chorus]
I hear your voice in fragments starting
Static on the wires tell me

[verse 2]
Not long ago
Cold by your fire
How do you get off
And whats your favorite show
If I held it out
Like it was a choice
Would you care to help
End the local noise
Don't watch the ceiling
Things start to break
Some endless feeling
Ready to wake
And when its over
After its gone
You start to wonder
How you've become
[Chorus]
I hear your voice in fragments starting to (turn you down)
Static on the wires tell me (if you're still going)
I hear your voice in fragments starting (to turn you down )
Static on the wires tell me (if you're still going, holding on me)

[Verse 3]
I looked around
Something wasn't right
Billboards in denial
Moving around one another
With no way to go back
And no way to return
I pulled into a town
Hoping to stall for the others
Don't watch the ceiling
Things start to break
Some endless feeling
Ready to wake
And when its over
After its gone
You start to wonder
How you've become

[Chorus]
