Another hotel room, another shade of grey

Another city that just steals the light of day

Got the TV on but I don't hear a thing

Just the silent echo that your absence brings

Four walls around me, feel 'em closing in

Don't know where I end or where the walls begin

But then I see your name light up my screen

The only real thing in this whole fake scene

I hit accept, I press it to my ear

And for a second, you are right here

But it's just static on the line

A broken signal, but I know you're mine

Your voice is cutting through the haze and noise

You're the only signal, you're my only choice

Yeah, it's just static on the line

But hearing your ghost is close enough to fine

You ask me how I'm doing, I say "I'm alright"

Another lie I'm telling to myself tonight

Tell me 'bout your day, the dog, the stupid news

Anything to get me through these lonely blues

The connection's fading, it's a losing fight

To hold onto a whisper in the fading light

And it's just static on the line

A broken signal, but I know you're mine

Your voice is cutting through the haze and noise

You're the only signal, you're my only choice

Yeah, it's just static on the line

But hearing your ghost is close enough to fine

Counting down the days, crossing off the nights

Living my whole life under fake fluorescent lights

This screen between us is a cruel, cruel wall

I'd trade it all just to be there if you fall

The line goes dead

Just static in my head

Static in my head

'Til you're in my bed... again
