[Verse 1]
Empty side of the mattress
Cold like a question mark
I trace the shape of nobody
In the dark
Your shadow in my doorway
But the hallway’s clear
I hear a name I’ve never learned
Right in my ear (yeah)
[Chorus]
Are you an apparition
Or waiting in the wings
Somewhere in the distance
Pulling on these strings
I’m reaching through the silence
Through every passing face
I only want the one who sets my bones in place
I’m haunted by a future I never knew
Until I find you
[Verse 2]
All these almost-forevers
Paper cuts on my hands
Every kiss a quiet echo
Of what I can’t understand
I build a life out of placeholders
Rooms with empty frames
Keep a space at the table
For an unknown name (oh)
[Chorus]
Are you an apparition
Or waiting in the wings
Somewhere in the distance
Pulling on these strings
I’m reaching through the silence
Through every passing face
I only want the one who sets my bones in place
I’m haunted by a future I never knew
Until I find you
[Bridge]
If you’re out there
Are you hurting too
Do you feel me like a fault line under you
I am ready for the wreckage we’ll walk through
If it leads me
If it leads me
[Chorus]
Are you an apparition
Or waiting in the wings
Somewhere in the distance
Pulling on these strings
I’m reaching through the silence
Through every passing face
I only want the one who sets my bones in place
I’m haunted by a future I never knew
Until I find you
Find you
Find you
