[Verse 1] You were laughing in my kitchen Bare feet Borrowed t‑shirt You knew where I kept the sugar Like you'd been here for years I could almost taste the coffee Hear you humming out of tune Then my alarm cut through the moment Tore you out of the room [Chorus] You're a ghost I only meet asleep Whole lives built between the sheets I wake up with your name And nothing in my hands How can strangers feel like family Fade to static instantly I lose you every morning From a world that never stands [Verse 2] We were crowded in that classroom Inside jokes Quiet notes I knew every scar you carried Every secret you wrote Then the daylight pulled the curtain Left me reaching through the air All the faces I remember Don't exist anywhere [Chorus] You're a ghost I only meet asleep Whole lives built between the sheets I wake up with your name And nothing in my hands How can strangers feel like family Fade to static instantly I lose you every morning From a world that never stands [Bridge] How many promises Buried in blankets How many friendships Gone with the dawn If I ever pass you On some crowded corner Will I feel that thunder Or just keep walking on (walking on) [Chorus] You're a ghost I only meet asleep Whole lives built between the sheets I wake up with your name And nothing in my hands How can strangers feel like family Fade to static instantly I lose you every morning To a love that never lands (never lands) To a life that never stands
