Midnight Static

Steam curls off the Delmar café grate

You text “meet me,” I’m late but it’s fate

Fingers graze on the wrought-iron fence

City hum syncs with your soft pretense

Ooh, you taste like iced latte and lime

Spin me slow in this alleyway rhyme

Whisper “stay,” the streetlights go dim

Room smells like rain, pull me in

You’re my Midnight Static, electric hush

Sticky spark drip on my cropped mesh, rush

Hi-hats tick, synths shimmer and crush

Midnight Static, light me with every blush

Midnight Static, keep me high

Brick glow till the sunrise

Streetcar clangs fade down the Grand strip

Your laugh bounces off the old brick lip

Polaroids tucked in my mini-skirt pocket

We’re a vibe no map can outsmart it

Ooh, you taste like iced latte and lime

Spin me slow in this alleyway rhyme

Whisper “stay,” the streetlights go dim

Room smells like rain, pull me in

You’re my Midnight Static, electric hush

Sticky spark drip on my cropped mesh, rush

Hi-hats tick, synths shimmer and crush

Midnight Static, light me with every blush

Midnight Static, keep me high

Brick glow till the sunrise

Drop the tempo, let the trap snares sigh

Breathy stacks in a velvet lullaby

One more sip of your cherry lime

Midnight Static, you’re forever mine

You’re my Midnight Static, electric hush

Sticky spark drip on my cropped mesh, rush

Hi-hats tick, synths shimmer and crush

Midnight Static, light me with every blush

Midnight Static, keep me high

Brick glow till the sunrise

Midnight Static… bye!
