The Ghost In My Coat

[Intro] [Verse 1] Hoodie sleeves chewed at the cuffs Front row faces all blur into one Said I’m “doing alright” in the car Then cried at the merch stand Holding your thumb Ticket stub crumpled in my fist You were tracing my name on your wrist You said “Stop saying you’re a mess You’re the only place that feels like rest” [Chorus] But you left your ghost in my coat In the pockets In the lining In the smoke Every hallway Every shop Every street I hear your laugh and my knees go weak I keep talking to an empty seat Like you’re still here Like you can see me Singing stupid little songs you’d tease Now I choke on every line I breathe [Verse 2] Saw your friends in our usual bar They all looked through me like tinted glass Someone asked if I’d heard the news I already knew I’d already collapsed Your jumper still hangs on my chair I keep stepping around it like you might care If I moved it Would that make it true? That the last person who loved me was you [Chorus] ‘Cause you left your ghost in my coat In the pockets In the lining In the smoke Every hallway Every shop Every street I hear your laugh and my knees go weak I keep talking to an empty seat Like you’re still here Like you can see me Singing stupid little songs you’d tease Now I choke on every line I breathe [Bridge] I’m so scared I’m hard to hold Too much crying Too much cold If I disappear mid-tour Will anyone miss me anymore? I’m so tired of trying to cope Writing endings Calling it hope If I walk off this bright lit stage Will you still say my name? [Chorus] So I leave your ghost in my coat In the pockets In the lining In the smoke Every hallway Every shop Every street I hear you loud when the crowd sings with me I keep talking to these empty seats But you’re in them now You’re in them now You’re in me Sing this broken little song with me Till it hurts less just to breathe [Outro] If my voice shakes If I get it wrong Thanks for staying Inside this song [Final Chorus] So I left your ghost in my coat In the pockets In the lining In the smoke Every hallway Every shop Every street I hear you loud when the crowd sings with me I keep talking to these empty seats But you’re in them now You’re in them now You’re in me Sing this broken little song with me I'll sing this broken little song to remember you...
