[Intro] [percussive acoustic guitar strumming, melodic electric bass enters] [Verse 1] [male tenor vocals] The halls were long and I was quiet then A ghost of someone waiting to be seen Your shadow was a mountain wide and deep While I was just a secret you could keep [Chorus] [drums enter, driving backbeat] You held the light, you wore the heavy name And taught me how to find my own in yours A borrowed confidence that felt like fire A tangled knot of hunger and desire I thought I was chosen [vocal harmony enters] (chosen) But I was only easy to lead I thought it was closeness (closeness) But I was just the ghost of a need [Verse 2] [acoustic guitar and bass continue, drums maintain steady pulse] You used your stories like a heavy coat Wrapping me up until I couldn't breathe I mistook attention for a kind of home And stayed in rooms I should've left alone [Chorus] [full band arrangement] Admiration is a lock without a key When it's used to keep a younger soul in line The years are heavy and the air is thin I finally see where you began and I gave in I thought I was chosen (chosen) But I was only easy to lead I thought it was closeness (closeness) But I was just the ghost of a need [Bridge] [increased vocal intensity, electric guitar distortion increases] The years don't wash the salt out of the wound They only make the vision sharp and cold It's not my shame that keeps me up tonight It's that you knew the darkness in the light [electric guitar lead line] You were the one who held the map at night You were the one who had a different life [Chorus] [climax with layered vocals] I thought I was chosen (chosen) But I was only easy to lead I thought it was closeness (closeness) But I was just the ghost of a need Yeah, I was only easy to lead [Outro] [instruments fade to acoustic guitar] You were old enough to know You were old enough to know [final acoustic guitar chord rings out]
