The air is heavy, dry and cold tonight
I see you standing in the pale moonlight
We’ re walking closer, inch by inch it seems
But there’ s a voltage running through our dreams
I reach my hand out, just to feel your skin
Not knowing where the danger might begin
A split second, the world slows down
The sweetest silence turns into a frown
I feel it building, rising in the air
A warning sign that you are pulling back from there
It’ s just static, baby, when we get too close
A little spark that hurts the most
I try to hold you, but you jump away
Like a reflex you can’ t delay
Oh, this static, tearing at the seams
Shocking me right out of my dreams
We’ re so magnetic, but we can’ t connect
Just a flash of light, and then... neglect.
I guess the friction is a part of us
Turning all our warmth into a sudden fuss
You look at me with eyes full of surprise
Like lightning struck you from the velvet skies
I take a step, you take a step behind
Leaving the connection far behind
A split second, the world slows down
The sweetest silence turns into a frown
I feel it building, rising in the air
A warning sign that you are pulling back from there
It’ s just static, baby, when we get too close
A little spark that hurts the most
I try to hold you, but you jump away
Like a reflex you can’ t delay
Oh, this static, tearing at the seams
Shocking me out of my dreams
We’ re so magnetic, but we can’ t connect
Just a flash of light, and then... neglect.
So tell me, where do we go from here?
When every touch is filled with fear
Do we ground the wire, or let it burn out?
Is this what loving is all about?
Left wondering in the afterglow
Of a spark that stopped us, moving slow...
It’ s just static, baby, when we get too close
A little spark that hurts the most
I try to hold you, but you jump away
Like a reflex you can’ t delay
Oh, this static, tearing at the seams
Shocking me out of my dreams
We’ re so magnetic, but we can’ t connect
Just a flash of light, and then... neglect.
