Static on the Line
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
I leave the receiver off its hook
Just to feel you near the room
That soft hiss is company enough
Because I know you're still on the line

[Chorus]
Amanda, I would wait through the static
Just to hear your breathing, calm and dramatic
Amanda, you're the sound I choose
No silence I would rather lose

[Verse 2]
You don't need to say a word
Your quiet is the best I've heard
I hold the phone like it's your hand
Steady as a heart can stand

[Pre-chorus]
Some nights the hissing is all we need
No news, no plans, no place to be
Just this line, and where it leads

[Chorus]
Amanda, I would wait through the static
Just to hear your breathing, calm and dramatic
Amanda, you're the sound I choose
No silence I would rather lose

[Bridge]
Every hum says you're still there
Every crackle, proof you care
I don't need the words to land

[Chorus]
Amanda, I would wait through the static
Just to hear your breathing, calm and dramatic
Amanda, you're the sound I choose
No silence I would rather lose

[Outro]
I'll leave the receiver on the table
Waiting for you, for as long as I'm able
