Ghost in My Side of the Bed

[Intro]

[glitched chopped vocal loop

Stuttering in and out of silence]

[Verse 1]

Empty plate

Two cups

One still warm on my side

You left your sweater

On my chair

Like a ghost that never decides

You say you’re fine

Eyes look past me

At a crack in the ceiling

You kiss my cheek

Clock keeps ticking

But it’s more like we’re freezing

[Chorus]

You’re a ghost in my side of the bed

I feel you there

But your heart moved out

Breathing in

All the words we left unsaid

You’re right here

Staring through the ceiling

I’m right here

Barely even feeling

You’re a ghost in my side of the bed

In my side

In my side of the bed

[Verse 2]

Phone face down

Screen lights

Your reflection in the black glass

You trace circles

On my wrist

Like a habit you outgrew fast

We talk weather

Talk your week

Never say what we’re thinking

You change songs

Right at the line

Where they say someone is leaving

[Chorus]

You’re a ghost in my side of the bed

I feel you there

But your heart moved out

Breathing in

All the words we left unsaid

You’re right here

Staring through the ceiling

I’m right here

Barely even feeling

You’re a ghost in my side of the bed

In my side

In my side of the bed

[Bridge]

You turn away

I count to three

Wait for you to turn back to me (you don’t)

Your body heat

Still burns my skin

But the part I miss is already dim

[Chorus]

You’re a ghost in my side of the bed

I feel you there

But your heart moved out

Breathing in

All the words we left unsaid

You’re right here

Staring through the ceiling

I’m right here

Barely even feeling

You’re a ghost in my side of the bed

In my side

In my side of the bed (oh)

In my side

In my side of the bed
