[Verse]
Saw you in the café by the old oak tree
You’re reading a book and not looking at me
It’s like I'm stuck in a black-and-white reel
Wondering if what I feel is even real
[Verse 2]
I trace the lines where your photos once stood
In every frame you look like you understood
But maybe it's the memories I’m clinging to
Not the ghost of what I thought was you
[Chorus]
I think I'm in love with the shadows cast
By the light of a love that couldn’t last
Is it you or the memories that I miss
When I dream of stolen moments and a kiss
[Verse 3]
Your whisper’s still an echo in the empty halls
A silent song that bounces off these lonely walls
Do I miss you or just the way you made me feel
In a world that seemed almost too surreal
[Bridge]
In a box under the bed
Your letters hide
Words on paper that I can’t let slide
It’s like I'm in love with a phantom
Not the man
But holding on is something I can’t seem to stand
[Chorus]
I think I'm in love with the shadows cast
By the light of a love that couldn’t last
Is it you or the memories that I miss
When I dream of stolen moments and a kiss
