[Intro] [Verse 1] Back then Lunch table laughs Inside jokes Plastic crafts Summer bike rides Firework smoke Thought that circle never broke Then the hallways split like roads New faces Heavy codes Smiles that shine for the show All that sugar tasting cold [Chorus] Why am I the ghost at the group chat? Typing out a line Then I delete that Everyone’s “so close” I still feel wrong Growing up just hurts this long Why am I the ghost at the group chat? Scrolling through the proof that I don’t fit back Every year I wait But I stay stuck Guess I’m just the ghost that never grows up (oh) [Verse 2] Locker doors slam in my face Laugh-track echoes in that place Sit beside a maybe friend Still feel lonely to the end Cap and gown Another stage Same old ache A different age Paycheck Parties Friday nights Still the punch that lands just right [Chorus] Why am I the ghost at the group chat? Typing out a line Then I delete that Everyone’s “so close" I still feel wrong Growing up just hurts this long Why am I the ghost at the group chat? Scrolling through the proof that I don’t fit back Every year I wait But I stay stuck Guess I’m just the ghost that never grows up [Bridge] I say I’m fine I change the subject (yeah) Make them laugh Then feel rejected Every “maybe come next time” Feels like one more closing line Tell me Does this ever ease? Will I ever breathe in peace? I keep standing in this crowd Silent But I’m screaming loud (so loud) [Chorus] Why am I the ghost at the group chat? Typing out a line Then I delete that Everyone’s “so close" I still feel wrong Growing up just hurts this long Why am I the ghost at the group chat? Scrolling through the proof that I don’t fit back Every year I wait But I stay stuck Guess I’m just the ghost that never grows up [Outro] Just once I wanna feel seen Not the shadow in between Till that day I’ll hang here Torn Halfway here and half long gone [Outro]
