[Verse 1]
You left your sweater on my chair
Coffee stain
A loose red thread
I swear I hear you on the stairs
Every night inside my head
[Pre-Chorus]
I talk to shadows on the wall
They answer back in your old tone
I set a place
I clear it all
Still end up dining here alone
[Chorus]
I'm dancing with the ghost of what we were
Hands through air
But I still feel the burn
You’re gone
But every room is filled with her
The ghost
The ghost of what we were
[whistle notes echoing on “were”]
[Verse 2]
Your toothbrush waiting by the sink
Screen lights up with your old name
I hold my breath
I never blink
Chasing reflections in the frame
[Pre-Chorus]
Your jacket hanging by the door
Like any second you'll return
This empty house
This haunted core
Every heartbeat starts to churn
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You said forever in this bed
Now it's just echoes in the springs
I trace your promise in my head
Till it unravels at the seams
[low vocal register] I try to move on
But I never do
[whispered vocals] Every step just walks me back to you
[crescendo]
[Chorus]
