Tyler Joseph
Static on the Line
[VERSE]
Can you hear me
Loud and clearly
Is the signal coming through

I’ve been desperate
For attention
And I’d like to hear from you

Is the moment
Just unspoken
Or is it just in my mind

Are you busy
Could you give me
Just a little of your life

If you could spare
A day to share
I’ll make up for the lost time

I’ve been calling
Now I’m falling
Through a one way dial tone

[PRE Chorus]
I lost count of the amount of combinations that I tried
Nothing’s working but I’m certain that I had it memorised
Every minute punching digits lure me further from my mind
I must have called a thousand times

[Chorus]
But there’s static on the line
Static on the line
Yeah there’s static on the line
I must have called a thousand times

[VERSE]
Is this too much
Are you fed up
Now your mailbox is filled
Wish you’d call back
So I’d know that
Our momentum wasn’t killed

Feeling needy
Getting greedy
For you to bare any mind

I’ve been tired
We’ve expired
Wish I didn’t waste our time

Eyes are closing
Mind is floating
In my memories we’ll shine

When I wake up
There’s a shake up
There’s a missed call on the phone

[PRE Chorus]
I lost count of the amount of combinations that I tried
Nothing’s working but I’m certain that I had it memorised
Every minute punching digits lure me further from my mind
I must have called a thousand times
[Chorus]
But there’s static on the line
Static on the line
Yeah there’s static on the line
I must have called a thousand times

[BRIDGE]
I’ve been
Calling you
But there’s
Static on the line

[Chorus]
Yeah there’s static on the line
I must have called a thousand times

[CODA]
I must have called a thousand times

I must have, I must have

So tell me what it means
With these messages unseen
When you can’t make up your mind on if this thing takes life

But there’s static on the line
I must have called a thousand times
