[Verse 1]
Polaroid edges, faded and curled
A ticket stub from another world
We were chasing fireflies in the summer haze
Lost in the glow of those golden days
[Chorus]
And I'm holding on to the static
Of a channel that's gone black
Yeah, I'm holding on to the static
Wishing I could bring it back
[Verse 2]
The tape deck chewed up our favorite song
But we hummed the chorus all night long
Now the car is rusting in the drive
But your laugh is still so alive
[Chorus]
And I'm holding on to the static
Of a channel that's gone black
Yeah, I'm holding on to the static
Wishing I could bring it back
[Bridge]
The signal's weak, the picture's snow
But I still watch the afterglow
A ghost on the screen, a whisper of sound
The only place where you're still around
[Chorus]
And I'm holding on to the static
Of a channel that's gone black
Yeah, I'm holding on to the static
Wishing I could bring it back
[Outro]
Just the hum, just the hiss
A memory I won't dismiss
Static... static...
