[Verse 1]
Make my tea
Watch my hands move
Like a stranger
In my own room
Laugh on cue
Hear it come out wrong
Like a bad dub
On the right song
[Chorus]
I feel like a third-person ghost
Hovering over my own postcode
I’m here but I’m not
I’m clear but I’m lost
Just my brain in a coat
Too aware
Too far to touch
Staring at a life that looks like us
It’s mine on paper
Mine in photos
Doesn’t feel like me though
[Verse 2]
Mouth says “fine”
Head says “prove it”
Friends crack jokes
I lip-sync through it
Catch my face
In the train glass blur
Think
“she’s fit”
Then realise it’s her (oh)
[Chorus]
I feel like a third-person ghost
Hovering over my own postcode
I’m here but I’m not
I’m clear but I’m lost
Just my brain in a coat
Too awake to fall asleep
Too detached to really speak
It’s my voice talking
Someone else’s notes
Doesn’t feel like me though
[Bridge]
Clock hands crawl
Skin feels borrowed
I press my pulse
Like I’m checking a stranger
If I wave back
When I see my reflection
Will I drop back in?
Will I drop back in?
[Chorus]
I feel like a third-person ghost
Hovering over my own postcode
I’m here but I’m not
I’m clear but I’m lost
Just my brain in a coat
Too aware
Too distant to hold
Living in a story I’ve been told
It’s mine in memories
Mine in echoes
Doesn’t feel like me though
