[Verse 1]
I set the glass down slow
On your crooked little board
The candle burns a ring
On the scarred-up floor
You spell my name back
One letter at a time
Like you got all night
And I got the line
[Pre-Chorus]
Tap-tap, are you there?
Keep your finger on the edge
I can feel you lean in close
From the dark behind the pledge
[Chorus]
Dear ghost, dear ghost
Keep writing me back
Dear ghost, dear ghost
On that tilted track
You leave me clues
In a circle of soot
Dear ghost, dear ghost
I read every root
[Verse 2]
Your message comes in shivers
Through the planchette glide
A little joke, a little bruise
A little thing you hide
You ask if I still miss you
Like we met for tea
I laugh and ask you
What you still see in me
[Pre-Chorus]
Tap-tap, little sign
Make the plastic sing
If I call you friend tonight
Will you answer anything?
[Chorus]
Dear ghost, dear ghost
Keep writing me back
Dear ghost, dear ghost
On that tilted track
You leave me clues
In a circle of soot
Dear ghost, dear ghost
I read every root
[Bridge]
You’re not a haunting
You’re a habit in the dark
A paper-thin confession
With a borrowed spark
So spell it out
If you’re leaving, leave a mark
If you’re staying, tap twice
And stay inside the arc
[Chorus]
Dear ghost, dear ghost
Keep writing me back
Dear ghost, dear ghost
On that tilted track
You leave me clues
In a circle of soot
Dear ghost, dear ghost
I read every root
[Outro]
Tap once for yes
Tap twice for stay
I’ll keep the board
Till the dawn turns gray
Dear ghost, dear ghost
Don’t fade away
