Lyrics

Static Electric Current
(c) 2026 MHC

[Verse 1]
I see you across the room again
Third time this week, or maybe more
You find my eyes without trying
Like you have been looking all along
The way you hold your silence
The way you turn before you leave
That look you leave behind for me
To keep
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to reach across the air between us
Just to know if you are real as you feel
[Chorus]
I want your hands -- I've felt them graze my shoulder
A warmth that stays long after you are gone
Like something slow and beautiful and shadowed
Where no one says it
But everyone knows
[Verse 2]
We speak in small, careful sentences
You said something that made me stay too long
I memorized the moment that you looked away
Then back
Your sleeve moved close at the table
I held still like I was made of glass
I am building an entire world
From almost
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to lean across and feel what opens
That particular silence when two people know
[Chorus]
I want your hands -- I've felt them graze my shoulder
A warmth that stays long after you are gone
Like something slow and beautiful and shadowed
Where no one says it
But everyone knows
[Bridge -- expanded]
So I put my arm around you
You did not pull away
We stood inside the not-yet
Neither one could say
What we are becoming
What this silence holds
You and I suspended
Between the warm and cold
I felt you breathe beside me
The whole world fell away
We are standing at the edge of something
Neither one can name
[Outro Chorus]
I want your hands -- I feel you wanting also
This current running deep beneath the surface
Like the ending of a film I return to
Where no one is safe
But everything is felt
