Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Half-full glass
Half-told truth
You left your scarf
I kept your proof
Ashtray choir
Singin' your name
Every little habit
Hurts the same
[Chorus]
These midnight letters
Scattered on the floor
Every unread promise
Every slammed door
I trace your name
Until the ink bleeds through
I'm still writin' to a ghost
Still writin' to you
[Verse 2]
Clock hands drag
Like my feet home
Your key still waits
In the deadbolt chrome
I talk to the mirror
Like you're in that frame
Say I'm doin' better
But the glass says "same"
[Chorus]
These midnight letters
Scattered on the floor
Every unread promise
Every slammed door
I trace your name
Until the ink bleeds through
I'm still writin' to a ghost
Still writin' to you
[Bridge]
[Organ swells, slow call-and-response with guitar]
If I could fold up time
Seal it with regret
I'd mail it to your doorway
With one word: "forget"
[Chorus]
These midnight letters
Scattered on the floor
Every unread promise
Every slammed door
I trace your name
Till my heart bleeds too
I'm still writin' to a ghost
Still writin' to you (oh, to you)
