[Verse 1] I keep your name in my jacket Like change I forgot to spend It weighs more than it should For something that never ends I tell myself I don’t miss you But the truth keeps slipping through Every road I take feels haunted By the things I didn’t do [Pre-Chorus] I swore I’d let it all go quiet But it follows when I move Every step I take reminds me There’s nothing left to prove [Chorus] I’ve got ghosts in my pockets And they’re pulling me down Little pieces of moments I can’t seem to shake now I don’t talk about it But I feel it nonstop I’ve got ghosts in my pockets And I can’t let them drop [Verse 2] There’s a picture I don’t look at But I know it’s still there Every smile feels unfinished Like it stopped mid-air I replay the last conversation Like I’ll finally get it right But the words never change Just the way they sound at night [Pre-Chorus] I keep saying it was nothing But it carved me in two Some things don’t need a reason They just stay with you [Chorus] I’ve got ghosts in my pockets And they’re pulling me down Little fragments of silence When I should’ve made a sound I don’t show it in public But it’s all that I’ve got I’ve got ghosts in my pockets And I can’t let them drop [Bridge – stripped / emotional] If I empty my hands Will I empty myself? If I let this all go Is there anything left? (quiet) Anything left… [Final Chorus – full, emotional release] I’ve got ghosts in my pockets But I carry them still Not to punish my past But to remember what’s real I don’t know how to forgive What I couldn’t stop I’ve got ghosts in my pockets Yeah, I’ve got ghosts… [Outro] I unzip my jacket And feel the weight Still there
