Chasing Ghosts

Verse 1:

I just had her in my arms last night (breath)

Safe and warm, everything felt right (breath)

But your name keeps burning in my head (ad-lib: yeah… yeah…)

The thrill, the rush, the things we said (breath)

I know she’s not mine to claim

Still, my heart whispers your name (ad-lib: ooh… ooh…)

I should stay, I should let it be (echo: let it be…)

But the pull is stronger than me (breath)

⸻

Pre-Chorus:

I feel guilty, I feel alive (ad-lib: oh…)

Two worlds collide, I can’t decide (breath)

I’m holding her, but I miss the fire (ad-lib: yeah…)

My mind’s a storm, caught in desire (echo: desire…)

⸻

Chorus:

I’m chasing ghosts, I’m losing sleep (ad-lib: yeah… oh…)

Two hearts I love, one mine to keep (breath)

Safe and steady, wild and free (ad-lib: uh… uh…)

I can’t escape what you mean to me (echo: to me…)

I’m chasing ghosts, I can’t let go (ad-lib: ooh… yeah…)

The rush, the high, the afterglow (breath)

But if I fall, I know I’ll break (ad-lib: oh…)

I’m holding on, but what’s at stake? (echo: what’s at stake…)

⸻

Verse 2:

Your texts come in, and I feel a spark (ad-lib: yeah…)

The past calls loud when the night is dark (breath)

I taste the thrill, I feel the rush (ad-lib: ooh…)

But real love waits, and it feels hush (echo: hush…)

I wanna scream, I wanna run (ad-lib: oh…)

But my daughter sleeps, my life’s begun (breath)

I can’t betray the peace I’ve known (ad-lib: yeah…)

Yet here I am, reaching for the unknown (echo: unknown…)

⸻

Pre-Chorus:

I feel guilty, I feel alive (ad-lib: oh…)

Two worlds collide, I can’t decide (breath)

I’m holding her, but I miss the fire (ad-lib: yeah…)

My mind’s a storm, caught in desire (echo: desire…)

⸻

Chorus:

I’m chasing ghosts, I’m losing sleep (ad-lib: yeah… oh…)

Two hearts I love, one mine to keep (breath)

Safe and steady, wild and free (ad-lib: uh… uh…)

I can’t escape what you mean to me (echo: to me…)

I’m chasing ghosts, I can’t let go (ad-lib: ooh… yeah…)

The rush, the high, the afterglow (breath)

But if I fall, I know I’ll break (ad-lib: oh…)

I’m holding on, but what’s at stake? (echo: what’s at stake…)

⸻

Bridge (rap / melodic flow):

I know I’m addicted to your flame (ad-lib: uh…)

But it’s a shortcut to my shame (breath)

I’ve got a life that needs my all (ad-lib: yeah…)

But I still hear your call (echo: call…)

I’m learning slow, I’m learning hard (ad-lib: oh…)

Love’s not just sparks, it’s a guard (breath)

I want both worlds, I want the thrill (ad-lib: yeah… yeah…)

But I’ve got to master my own will (echo: own will…)

⸻

Final Chorus:

I’m chasing ghosts, I’m losing sleep (ad-lib: yeah… oh…)

Two hearts I love, one mine to keep (breath)

Safe and steady, wild and free (ad-lib: uh… uh…)

I can’t escape what you mean to me (echo: to me…)

I’m chasing ghosts, I can’t let go (ad-lib: ooh… yeah…)

The rush, the high, the afterglow (breath)

But if I fall, I know I’ll break (ad-lib: oh…)

I’m holding on, but what’s at stake? (echo: what’s at stake…)
