In the shadows

I see you…

Through the neon glow

Every step… every breath… mine to know

⸻

I trace your steps down empty streets

Windows are mirrors, shadows at my feet

A ribbon on your doorstep, my timid confession

I linger where the light dares not mention

⸻

Every smile, every glance, I memorize

Closer yet, I fear the light in your eyes

A quiet obsession, a love in the dark

I’m the ghost that’s chasing your heart

⸻

In the shadows, I wait for you

Every secret you leave, I pursue

My love is silent, my love is true

I’m your ghost in the room

⸻

Three rows behind, pretending to read

Your perfume haunts the train car, it follows me

Watching you undress, curtains wide just enough

To feel your life from the edge of my love

A note in your mailbox, a gift in disguise

A silent confession, my trembling sighs

I don’t dare touch, I don’t dare speak

I’m the shadow you’ve never seen

⸻

Every laugh, every step, I memorize

Closer yet, I fear your eyes

A quiet obsession, a love in the dark

I’m the ghost that’s chasing your heart

⸻

In the shadows, I wait for you

Every secret you leave, I pursue

My love is silent, my love is true

I’m your ghost in the room

⸻

Curtains drawn… or left wide open

I catch your shadow staring back

Your laughter lingers in my chest

You know I’m here… and you like it best

⸻

You follow, I see, I thrill

Your secret love, my dark thrill

Play with me, I play with you

Shadows and whispers, we rendezvous

(Both)

In the night, our danger collides

Silent obsession turns into delight

Your eyes on me, my heart in your hands

We’re both ghosts, but now we dance

Mood / Performance Notes:

• Whisper verses, almost voyeuristic.

• Chorus sultry, full of tension, a little breathy.

• Bridge introduces intrigue from her perspective—slightly playful.

• Outro: confident, mutual obsession, dangerous and sexy.
