Ghost Lights Fading (version 2)

Verse

Eyes still on the screen where your face used to glow

Fingers trace the shape of what we left behind

Static hums in my phone where you should be right now

I hold onto these ghost lights for a little longer tonight

Pre-Chorus

Can I find a way to keep us alive in this space?

Is it wrong when I still see your smile in the dark?

Every frame of you is frozen, stuck inside my head

Can I learn how to let go of what we had instead?

Chorus

Ghost lights fading out on an empty stage tonight

I'm chasing shadows that don't turn into light

Hold onto something, hold it tight and true

I'm still here holding these ghost lights for you

Verse

Your voice was always in the headphones when I went to bed

City streets are empty now without the hum of your guitar instead

Old apartment quiet with just my own two feet on the floor

Every echo here whispers secrets that we never explored

Pre-Chorus

Can I find a way to keep us alive in this space?

Is it wrong when I still see your smile in the dark?

Every frame of you is frozen, stuck inside my head

Can I learn how to let go of what we had instead?

Chorus

Ghost lights fading out on an empty stage tonight

I'm chasing shadows that don't turn into light

Hold onto something, hold it tight and true

I'm still here holding these ghost lights for you

Bridge

It's not about keeping the past whole

Maybe this is where we finally learn to be whole

The lights go down now but they stay inside me

And I'll carry them forward like a constellation in my heart

Chorus

Ghost lights fading out on an empty stage tonight

I'm chasing shadows that don't turn into light

Hold onto something, hold it tight and true

I'm still here holding these ghost lights for you
