[Verse 1]
Woke up with my phone dead
Still buzzing in my head somehow
Same town, same dead-end plans
Draw a rocket on my old desk now
Mom’s yelling through the thin wall
“Get a job, this phase will pass”
I’m patching rips in my black jeans
Turning panic into jet fuel fast
[Chorus]
I got static in my chest and it won’t calm down
Like a car crash heartbeat, spinning me around
If the sky falls, let it
If the world calls, forget it
We’re too loud, too proud for the quiet crowd
I got static in my chest, I’m alive right now (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Friends late on a group chat
Drop a pin, say “you outside?”
Sneak out through the backyard
Flashlight teeth and red brake lights
We’re singing out of key, who cares
Kicking gravel in the corner lot
Every bad idea feels perfect
Every “you can’t” turns into “watch”
[Chorus]
I got static in my chest and it won’t calm down
Like a car crash heartbeat, spinning me around
If the sky falls, let it
If the world calls, forget it
We’re too loud, too proud for the quiet crowd
I got static in my chest, I’m alive right now (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
Maybe we’re the glitch
In their perfect little plan
But I’d rather burn
Than blend in with the brand
So write my name
On your crooked leather wristband
If this is all we get
Let’s make it more than they can stand (hey!)
[Chorus]
I got static in my chest and it won’t calm down
Like a car crash heartbeat, spinning me around
If the sky falls, let it
If the world calls, forget it
We’re too loud, too proud for the quiet crowd
I got static in my chest, I’m alive right now
I got static in my chest, scream it out right now
