Before the static there was magic
Before the hard work there were fireworks
Before the heartache there were first dates
Before our slow end you were my best friend
Oh, and every time I think about you I’m caught between feeling shameful and feeling used
Oh, but every time I dream about you it’s a rosy coloured vision that never came true
Now when I look back I can see all the little cracks
We tried to save it, that made me hate it
Oh, and every time I think about you all I hear is screaming in the kitchen
Oh, but every time I dream about you it’s a supercut of how we used to be
Every time I try to move on, the radio plays your favourite song
And I’m caught in your taste and your smell
Hating myself that I can’t forget the way that you said my name
Can’t we go back to before the magic changed to static?
Oh, when I think about it you left me feeling used
Oh, but every time I dream about you it’s a rosy coloured vision that never came true
But how can I ever move on if I don’t want to?
Before the static there was magic
