[Intro — sparse synth pad, distant guitar, bass enters] [Verse 1] There's a photograph inside your drawer You don't look at anymore But you never threw it out Sometimes when you're half asleep You say something underneath Your breath you won't explain I know that look behind your eyes You're somewhere else tonight [Pre-Chorus] I can hold you I can get this close But I'm lying here beside Someone else's ghost [Chorus] Someone else's ghost Sleeps between us every night I can feel you holding on To someone nowhere in sight I could give you everything And still never come this close To the part of you that belongs To someone else's ghost [Verse 2] There's a restaurant across downtown You always want to walk around But never tell me why And every time that song comes on Your face changes, then it's gone Before I ask what's wrong Maybe you don't even know How much you haven't let them go [Pre-Chorus] I can kiss you I can get this close But I'm always reaching through Someone else's ghost [Chorus] Someone else's ghost Sleeps between us every night I can feel you holding on To someone nowhere in sight I could give you everything And still never come this close To the part of you that belongs To someone else's ghost [Short Instrumental — distant guitar and bass] [Bridge — intimate, nearly whispered] How do I compete With who they used to be? Memory never gets it wrong Never says the wrong thing Never stays out too long Maybe that's why You still keep them alive [Final Chorus — restrained build] Someone else's ghost Sleeps between us every night I've been trying to replace Someone frozen in your mind I could give you everything But now I finally know I can't make you stop loving Someone else's ghost [Outro — sparse] So tonight I'll let you go You and Someone else's ghost [Instrumental fade]
