[Verse 1: low, unbothered] Morning's making noise again, the sun is showing off Shadows stretching, living folks already clocking in Everybody's rushing like they've got somewhere to be But I just pulled my spirit back and let the day begin without me [Pre-Chorus: guitars bloom, shoegaze swell] Deep mist ceiling, I'm not coming out The world can knock, I'm keeping it down [Chorus: full, soaring runs] I'm a ghost tonight Wrapped up in my own cold bloom Let the daylight wait outside the room Let the living run without me I'm staying in Tangled in the softest shroud I own Nothing out there's better than this home So I'm pulling it back down, I'm a ghost tonight [Verse 2: playful, lazy] Haunting folded, phantom dust on the pillow from last night Danced with fireflies until the stars went pale Someone's calling from the light, says, "Friend, the sun is high" I just smile and pull the curtain like a velvet veil [Pre-Chorus] Deep mist ceiling, I'm not coming out The world can knock, I'm keeping it down [Chorus] I'm a ghost tonight Wrapped up in my own cold bloom Let the daylight wait outside the room Let the living run without me I'm staying in Tangled in the softest shroud I own Nothing out there's better than this home So I'm pulling it back down, I'm a ghost tonight [Bridge: shift to major, hushed, repeating] Five more minutes, maybe ten Maybe I'll just close my eyes again Five more minutes, maybe noon Maybe I'll wake up with the moon [Final Chorus: intense shoegaze swell, whistle and spectral ad libs] I'm a ghost tonight Wrapped up in my own cold bloom Let the daylight wait outside the room Let the living run without me I'm staying in Tangled in the softest shroud I own Nothing out there's better than this home So I'm pulling it back down, I'm a ghost tonight [Outro: piano and Rhodes, resolves to minor chord] Wake me when the stars come back [End]
