Ghosts and Paper (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Four a.m., streets are empty and grey

Your scarf's still on the back of my seat

Coffee stains like you never left

I'm searching for your ghost in the lights

Every face is yours but none of them beat it

Windows fog up like they're breathing slow

Same four walls, same old four-a.m. glow

Pre-Chorus

So tell me where do you go when I'm not looking?

Is that a dream or just another room you're locking?

Do you ever think of me at three in the morning?

Or am I just a line in some poem that you're no longer keeping?

Chorus

Ghosts and paper, that's all I'm left with

Every time I close my eyes, it starts again

Verse 2

Your favorite book still on the kitchen counter

The same old coffee mug that we never return

You said forever but forever doesn't last

I'm reading between the lines for a different ending

Trying to find you in every single word

Pre-Chorus

So tell me where do you go when I'm not looking?

Is that a dream or just another room you're locking?

Do you ever think of me at three in the morning?

Or am I just a line in some poem that you're no longer keeping?

Chorus

Ghosts and paper, that's all I'm left with

Every time I close my eyes, it starts again

Bridge

Maybe forever wasn't the plan all along

Maybe forever was just the way we stayed for so long

I'll find a new page and turn the page again

Not to move on but to keep you close in the words

So I don't lose you like I lost the last one

Ghosts and paper, that's all I've got left of this one

Chorus

Ghosts and paper, that's all I'm left with

Every time I close my eyes, it starts again
