[Intro — pulsing synth] Three million lights... Three million lives... Everybody's awake... Why do I feel... Alone tonight? [808 DROP] [Verse 1] Elevator going up... I don't know... Who lives next door... See the same face... Every morning... Never asked... Her name before... Train is full... Nobody talking... Everybody somewhere else... I got four hundred contacts... Tell me why... I call nobody... When I need help... [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we're all... Waiting... For somebody else... To say it first... Maybe everybody... Looks okay... Because everybody... Rehearsed... [CHORUS] GHOSTS IN THE CITY... EVERYBODY SEES ME... NOBODY KNOWS ME... GHOSTS IN THE CITY... DANCING WITH SOMEBODY... STILL FEELING LONELY... SO MANY LIGHTS... SO MANY LIVES... SO MANY PEOPLE... PASSING ME BY... GHOSTS IN THE CITY... EVERYBODY SEES ME... NOBODY... KNOWS ME... [808 tail] [Verse 2] She got ten thousand followers... Sitting alone... At the end of the bar... He keeps buying another drink... Telling everybody... He's doing fine... Two strangers... Go home together... Wake up... Still strangers... Funny... How close... Two bodies can get... Without anybody... Getting closer... [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we forgot... How to say... I'm lonely... Without feeling ashamed... So we say... I'm busy... I'm tired... I'm good... And keep walking... Away... [CHORUS] GHOSTS IN THE CITY... EVERYBODY SEES ME... NOBODY KNOWS ME... GHOSTS IN THE CITY... DANCING WITH SOMEBODY... STILL FEELING LONELY... SO MANY LIGHTS... SO MANY LIVES... SO MANY PEOPLE... PASSING ME BY... GHOSTS IN THE CITY... EVERYBODY SEES ME... NOBODY... KNOWS ME... [Beat Switch — Dark Latin Trap] [Melodic Fast Flow] Everybody posting where they at, nobody saying where their mind been. Everybody showing who they're with, nobody saying who they miss yet. Friday night and the club full, Monday morning feel invisible. Whole city packed like a train car, everybody living in a different world. Swipe left, swipe right, one more face in the blue light. Good morning, good night, three little dots, then goodbye. I ain't judging, I'm the same. Know a hundred usernames, forget the names. Got people I love I ain't called in months, then wonder why everything feels strange. Maybe loneliness ain't being alone. Maybe loneliness is being surrounded... By people who only know... The version of you... You learned how to show. [808 cuts] [Voice + Synth Only] What if... Behind every window... There's somebody... Standing in the dark... Looking at mine? [Silence] What if... None of us... Are the only one? [FINAL DROP] [FINAL CHORUS] GHOSTS IN THE CITY... EVERYBODY SEES ME... BUT SOMEBODY... MIGHT KNOW ME... GHOSTS IN THE CITY... MILLIONS OF HEARTBEATS... UNDER THE CONCRETE... SO MANY LIGHTS... SO MANY LIVES... MAYBE WE'RE ALL... JUST WAITING FOR A SIGN... GHOSTS IN THE CITY... IF YOU CAN HEAR ME... YOU DON'T HAVE TO... KNOW ME... JUST DON'T... WALK THROUGH ME... LIKE I'M NOT ALIVE... [Instrumental] [Outro] Three million lights... Three million lives... Somewhere... Behind one of them... Somebody else... Feels exactly... Like I do... Tonight.
