Late July, windows halfway down
Signal fading as we leave town
Dashboard lights and your bare feet
Up on the dash, dancing to the beat

Dial keeps slipping between the songs
That scratchy sound when it all goes wrong
But we sing along like it’s crystal clear
Every broken note just pulls us near

Out where the road forgets our names
Every mile feels like a small escape

FM static and fireflies (oh yeah)
Chasing that glow through the county lines
Radio cutting in and out of time
But it feels like heaven when you’re by my side
Turn it up till the signal dies
Hands out the window, touching the sky
Yeah we were young on a Friday night
With FM static and fireflies

Barefoot dancing in a gravel lot
Laughing like we don’t care who’s watching
Every song feels like it’s ours
Even when it fades, we sing it loud

Moonlight shining on your face
Sweat and summer and cheap cologne
If that moment ever comes back around
I’d take the long way just to slow it down

Out past the lines on that old map
We were writing something we never had

FM static and fireflies (come on)
Broken signal but the timing’s right
Every song cutting in and out
Still hit harder when we scream them loud
Turn it up till the signal dies
Heart on full, no alibis
Yeah we were kings of a nowhere night
With FM static and fireflies

If it don’t come in clear, that’s alright
Some things sound better blurred by time
That crackle in the speaker knows
Some moments aren’t meant to stay close

FM static and fireflies (oh yeah)
Backroad glow in your neon eyes
Radio gone but the memory’s alive
Burning real bright in the back of my mind
Turn it up till the signal dies
Hold on tight, let the night fly by
Yeah we were free on a nowhere ride
With FM static and fireflies

Static and fireflies (hey)
Static and fireflies (oh oh)
