[Verse 1] Pace over there, now over there, then over there again She’s probably gettin’ mad right about now, my friend Checkin’ every pocket, every shelf, every chair Got a reservation waiting but I’m stuck right here I’m in my sneakers and a half-tied tie Phone on the counter while I search and sigh I had a plan, had a joke, had a rose Now I’m circlin’ this apartment like it’s all I know [Pre-Hook] Pace over there, now over there, then over there again She’s probably gettin’ mad right about now Pace over there, now over there, then over there again She’s probably gettin’ mad right about now [Hook] She gonna think I’m a ghost As she cheers to an empty chair Poured my heart out getting ready And I can’t even get there She’s gonna think I’m a ghost I’m gonna hide just like my keys Now the only thing across from her Are breadsticks I pre-ordered, please [Verse 2] Roommate in the next room givin’ me that look That “oh boy” face, like I’m written in a book I’m drinkin’ the expensive whiskey straight from the glass Tryna melt down all this panic into liquid laughs Put it on the heart heavy, bet she looked so fine Dress on point, hair laid, right on time Even if I ran, couldn’t make it by eleven Not cool, I wanted lobster and a little bit of heaven If I’m gonna be the saddest ghost in this world tonight At least I’ll be the saddest ghost drinkin’ whiskey right Spinnin’ in the kitchen in my half-laced shoes I’m haunted by a dinner that I’m destined to lose [Pre-Hook] Pace over there, now over there, then over there again At this point nothing more can go wrong, I guess Pace over there, now over there, then over there again She probably doesn’t even wanna be friends [Hook] She gonna think I’m a ghost As she cheers to an empty chair Poured my heart out getting ready And I can’t even get there She’s gonna think I’m a ghost I’m gonna hide just like my keys Now the only thing across from her Are breadsticks I pre-ordered, please [Bridge] (Voicemail beep) Yeah, she probably left five messages but I can’t count them I don’t even know why I keep drinkin’, I just down them Maybe ’cause I looked for my keys for ninety minutes straight And I hate lookin’ for my keys, I always show up late If I find them I could be something, that’s what I believe I was lookin’ for this night like a trick up my sleeve So good, from top to bottom, I was suited up Not just a little spruce up, man, I glowed enough Lookin’ like I came from the million dollar store And I got her sittin’ there mad thinkin’ I’m folklore A ghost probably flirtin’ with the waiter on my card That’s where we’re at, yeah I know that it’s hard I even practiced compliments, mirror on the wall Had three good ones ready and one just for it all My mama told me, "Don’t go breakin’ good women’s hearts" I said, "Mama, please, it’s not like that, I just fall apart" Well mama, congratulations, you were right again She’ll probably never talk to me, not even as a friend Thinks I’m a ghost and I get it, I see So I won’t call, I lost her number with my keys My Wi-Fi’s been slow, feels like forever on load And my charger only works at a weird angle mode So it keeps on dyin’ and I stopped tryin’ (Beep) [Hook] She gonna think I’m a ghost As she stares at an empty chair Raise my bottle to a girl I wish I was there Breaks my heart, I’ll break your heart And I didn’t even make it there She’s gonna think I’m a ghost I’m gonna haunt my memories Now the only thing across from her Are breadsticks I pre-ordered, please [Hook — Stripped Back] I’m a ghost again tonight Raise my bottle to a girl, wish I were there Breaks my heart, I’ll break your heart And I didn’t even make it there I’m a ghost again tonight Every plan fades into thin air Breaks my heart, I’ll break your heart And I didn’t even make it there [Outro] (Spoken, soft, over fading synths) Mom, please… yeah, mom, I never… no, I was never… Yeah… just check my pockets… mom, thank you… I found my keys [Fade out]
