[Verse] I still leave one side of the bed untouched Not for you, I know you're gone It's just a habit with a long memory That survives the person it was built upon Your old number sits beneath my thumb I don't call, I just let it glow Funny how a thing can lose its meaning And still be the hardest thing to let go [Pre-Chorus] I thought distance would do its job But distance only changed the shape Of everything I couldn't keep, till it was too late [Chorus] Gravity of a Ghost You don't have to be here to get this close I feel you in the choices that I make In every door I almost take Grav... grav... Gravity of a ghost (ghost) I thought I was letting go But I'm still giving you somewhere to go I don't see you I don't hear you Still my body knows the route I don't need you I don't want you But I still move like you do Ghost... Gravity... Gravity of a Ghost [Verse] I don't want you back I want back the version of me That only existed when you and I were we Before I learned to second-guess myself I discover I'm repeating things That I swore I'd never carry on Funny what the mind will keep rehearsing Long after the reason's gone [Pre-Chorus] I catch myself before I react A thought arrives, I let it pass And for the first time, it doesn't pull me back [Chorus] Gravity of a Ghost You turned a memory into a pulse Now I carry what we never said Like a dusty room I keep inside my head Grav... grav... Gravity of a ghost (ghost) I don't regret the way it broke I only resent the rules it wrote I don't follow I don't freeze Still a reflex moves beneath I don't feed it I don't name it But I catch it when it shifts Ghost... Gravity... Gravity of a Ghost [Verse] I found the pattern underneath it It was never really you It was every rule I kept obeying Even when nobody told me to I made a language out of caution Turned reaction into law Now I'm catching all the moments When I do it without thinking anymore [Bridge] Maybe that's the part I couldn't see You left, but the mechanism stayed I kept feeding old reactions Then wondered why they never changed So I won't make you the reason For everything I became You're a piece of the equation I'm the one who changed the frame [Pre-Chorus] I can feel the old pull Without answering it I can hear the old voice Without becoming it [Final-Chorus] Gravity of a Ghost I can feel you without losing control You're a chapter I no longer have to hold A memory doesn't get to set the road I thought you were pulling me home Grav... grav... Gravity of a ghost (ghost) Now I know I was the one who gave it weight And I don't have to carry it past its date [Outro] The bed is still too wide But I don't leave your side of it alive The number's still there But it no longer pulls me anywhere [Fade Out] Nothing here Nothing owed Nothing pulling Nothing to hold Just... Gravity... Grav... grav... Gravity Gravity of a ghost (ghost)
