Ghost And The Grave
[Intro - minimal synth pad, distant reverb, ambient city noise] (Mmm) [Verse 1 - sparse beat, reverb guitar, breathy vocals] Your face glowing in the stoplight red Ash falling from the cigarette you spread Three AM, engine's still running low Your perfume soaking through the seat below Don't feel like I used to feel But your touch still burns, still real [Pre-Chorus - synth swell, sub-bass] Know I shouldn't whisper out your name (ooh-ohh) But I'm craving all the shame Every shadow moving past my window frame Nothing's different, nothing's quite the same [Chorus - full beat, layered vocals] Lost in the echo of your touch (ooh-ohh) Feeling numb but I need you so much Stuck between the ghost and the grave (ooh-ohh) Of a love I couldn't save [Verse 2 - beat drops, atmospheric] Hotel curtains blocking out the light Streetlamps bleeding orange into white Fingers tracing wrinkles where you'd sleep Your voice still echoing in too deep Don't hurt the way I used to do But you're still my favorite shade of blue [Pre-Chorus] Know I shouldn't dial your name again (ooh-ohh) Sinking deeper in the when Every stranger's silhouette on the concrete Sounds like your footsteps down the street [Chorus - full beat, layered vocals] Lost in the echo of your touch (ooh-ohh) Feeling numb but I need you so much Stuck between the ghost and the grave (ooh-ohh) Of a love I couldn't save [Breakdown - beat stripped to minimal percussion, ambient textures, whispered/breathy ad-libs] (Yeah, yeah) (Can't shake you from my skin) (Mmm) (Still taste where you've been) (ooh-ohh) (Your breath against my neck at night) (Yeah) (You're burned into my sight) (Mmm) (Can't feel the way I should) (But you're pulsing in my blood for good) (ooh-ohh) (Your fingers tangled in my hair) (I turn around but you're not there) [Bridge - stripped, whispered, minimal beat] Would you pick up if I called right now? (ooh-ohh) Or should I just figure out how? You wouldn't recognize my face no more Someone different than before But I don't know how to close this door [Chorus - final, full] Lost in the echo of your touch (ooh-ohh) Numb but I need you so much Stuck between the ghost and the grave (ooh-ohh) Of a love I couldn't save [Outro - fading beat, ambient, distant] (Echo of your touch) (ooh-ohh) (Couldn't save)
