Ghost in the Night

Darlin’, when the hurt creeps in, steals the light from your eyes,

You fade into the shadows, like a ghost at sunrise.

No text, no call, no whisper in the wind—

Just silence like a graveyard where our love could’ve been.

I replay every second, searchin’ for the crime,

Did I say too much? Or not enough this time?

Oh, I wanna be the one you turn to, when the emotions start to drown,

When you’re suffocatin’ on the emptiness, and no one’s around.

But you vanish like a ghost in the night, leavin’ echoes in the dark,

Time ticks by with nothin’, and it cuts me to the bone.

Feelin’ like I must’ve wronged you, leavin’ me here all alone.

Weeks turn into static, playin’ loud in my head,

Your laugh in the hallway—now it’s just empty bed.

I’d trade the world to hold you through the storm in your soul,

Be the match in your darkness, make you feelin’ whole.

[Pre-Chorus] (soft, whispered)

I know your heart’s a runway, lights off, planes don’t land…

But I’m still on the tarmac, reachin’ with both hands.

[Chorus] (bigger—add stacked harmonies)

Oh, I wanna be the one you turn to…

When you’re suffocatin’ on the emptiness… darlin’, please come around…

But you vanish like a ghost in the night… leavin’ echoes in the dark…

[Bridge] (strip to vocal + reverb guitar)

If I’m not enough, say it to my face—

Don’t leave me hauntin’ hallways, beggin’ for a trace.

(build with kick drum)

One text, one sign, one spark in the black—

I’d burn the whole damn sky just to bring you back.

[Final Chorus] (full band + choir BVs)

Oh, I wanna be the one you turn to…

When you’re suffocatin’… darlin’, please come around…

You vanish like a ghost… but I’m still here in the dark…

Screamin’ at the silence—come take my heart.

[Outro] (ad-lib falsetto)

I miss you… like a ghost in the night…

I wish I was enough…

(fade with phone-dial tone + heartbeat kick)
