You were sleep on my chest

Late trains, cheap wine, old decks

Now it’s blue light on my phone

Your name there, then gone

Yeah

Met you in a hallway, paint on your hands

Laughing at the teacher, skipping the plans

We were broke, but the clock ran rich

Every little moment, every dumb wish

Hand-me-down coat, perfume in the seams

You drew on my arm, outlined your dreams

Said, "If we stay small, we’ll never grow"

You were half in my arms, half out the window

Velvet Ghost

You were soft in my bed, now you haunt my home

Walk through walls

In the frame of my mind, you still talk so low

You were all I knew

Now I reach for your hand, it slides through smoke

Velvet Ghost

You were here for years, then you let me go

Yeah

You packed in silence, folding your doubts

Shoebox truth spilling out of your mouth

"You love the past, I’m chasing the next"

You kissed my forehead, erased the text

Key on the table, ring in a glass

You said, "We got good, but we ain’t gonna last"

I watched your shadow drift down the stair

Felt the whole flat shake, but you weren’t there

Velvet Ghost

You were soft in my bed, now you haunt my home

Walk through walls

In the frame of my mind, you still talk so low

You were all I knew

Now I reach for your hand, it slides through smoke

Velvet Ghost

You were here for years, then you let me go

Every club light, I see your face

Every late ride, I feel your weight

On the side of my chest where your head would rest

Now it’s just sweat, breath, and an empty space

I still talk to the dark like you answer back

Laugh at my jokes, keep the panic intact

You’re stitched in the hoodie that I can’t throw out

You’re gone from the city, but stuck in my mouth (yeah)

Velvet Ghost

You were soft in my bed, now you haunt my home

Walk through walls

In the frame of my mind, you still talk so low

You were all I knew

Now I reach for your hand, it slides through smoke

Velvet Ghost

You were here for years

You were here for years

Then you let me go (Velvet Ghost)
