[Verse 1]
Coffee gone cold
Same cup on the table
Talking to the walls
Like they might answer back
Fridge full of pictures
Faces stuck in yesterday
I trace their names
Till my fingers ache
[Chorus]
I’m a ghost to their life
Walking these rooms like I’m see-through
I gave them my days
Now they don’t have a minute to lose
My heart still rings
But nobody’s picking up tonight
I’m a ghost to their life
I’m a ghost to their life (oh, my child)
[Verse 2]
Phone by the window
Screen black
Won’t light
I tell myself they’re busy
So I can sleep at night
Every little siren
Every car in the drive
I hold my breath
Then let it die
[Chorus]
I’m a ghost to their life
Walking these rooms like I’m see-through
I gave them my days
Now they don’t have a minute to lose
My heart still rings
But nobody’s picking up tonight
I’m a ghost to their life
I’m a ghost to their life (can you hear me?)
[Bridge]
Do you ever say my name
In a line at the store
Does it hit you in the chest
Like it used to before
If I vanished from this world
Would it cross your mind
Or would I just fade
One more unread sign
[Chorus]
I’m a ghost to your life
Still setting a place at the table
I carried your storms
Now I can’t even say I’m not able
My heart still rings
Softly calling through the quiet night
I’m a ghost to your life
But I’m loving you still
From the other side (oh, my child)
