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…)
