Intro (0:00–0:10 | distant, filtered, airy reverb, vocal chop layer)
(whispered, stretched, slightly reversed)
yeah… yeah…
(i miss… you… i miss… you…)
⸻
Pre-Hook (0:10–0:25 | soft lead vocal, close mic, low energy, slight delay tail)
one more night, I don’t feel right
(breath at end)
something moves but nothing stays
(soft echo “stays…”)
I been tryin’ just to hold on
voice cracks slightly
but it slips right through my hands
⸻
HOOK (0:25–0:50 | layered vocals, main + airy harmony + subtle doubles, more reverb)
you’re like a ghost I never knew
never knew
yeah
yeah
but I still miss you
miss you
yeah
yeah
you’re like a dream I never had
never had
no
no
but I still feel you
feel you
in my chest
⸻
Verse (0:50–1:15 | lead vocal, intimate, minimal instrumental, guitar + pad)
life don’t stay the same for long
every time I blink it’s gone
I try to catch it while it’s movin’
but it don’t wait, it just keeps goin’
there’s a beauty in the breakin’
in the chaos, in the changin’
but it hurts to see it fade
when I just learned how to name it
lookin’ at the moon again
wonder if you’re lookin’ too
don’t know who I’m missin’ now
but it feels like somethin’ true
⸻
Pre-Hook (1:15–1:30 | slightly more emotion, layered echo)
somethin’ shifts inside of me
I can’t place it, I can’t see
I keep reachin’ for a feelin’
that don’t belong to anything
⸻
HOOK (1:30–1:55 | fuller layers, emotional peak, add soft harmonies)
you’re like a ghost I never knew
never knew
yeah
yeah
but I still miss you
miss you
yeah
yeah
you’re like a dream I never had
never had
no
no
but I still feel you
feel you
in my chest
⸻
Bridge (1:55–2:10 | stripped down, almost spoken, low volume, dry vocal)
maybe I been searchin’
for somethin’ that ain’t mine
or maybe it’s just out there
and I’m runnin’ out of time
⸻
Outro (2:10–2:30 | fade loop, heavy reverb, vocal chop returns)
(i miss you… i miss you…)
yeah…
never knew…
yeah…
