[Intro] (Slow electric piano chords, subtle nylon guitar plucks) (Deep sub-bass swell, skittering hi-hats fade in) Yeah... I still see that face... Out of reach, in another space... [Verse 1] [smooth r&b vocal, intimate] One single look and my heart froze state I saw your shadow, now I curse my fate Walking through the crowd, shining like gold A story untold that I need to hold I took two steps but you turned around Lost in the lights, nowhere to be found [Pre-Chorus] [filtered handclaps, building energy] I’m running through the dark, chasing a ghost The one that I need is the one I want most Getting so close but you fade away Nothing left for me to say... (Drop the bass!) [Chorus] [sticky sung hook, melodic, layered harmonies] I’m chasing your shadow in the middle of the night You’re blinding my eyes like a flash of light I reach for your hand but you slip through the maze Stuck in a loop, trapped in your gaze Yeah, I run, I fall, but I never can touch I want you too bad, I need you too much (Out of reach, yeah, out of reach...) [Verse 2] [soft r&b vocal, emotional and realization] Electric keys play a song so cold Now I see the truth as the night unfolds Standing in the room, but you're miles away A tragic realization with nothing left to say No matter how I run, I will always fail Chasing a phantom behind a heavy veil Yeah, I see it now... you were never meant for me [Chorus] [sticky sung hook, melodic, layered harmonies] I’m chasing your shadow in the middle of the night You’re blinding my eyes like a flash of light I reach for your hand but you slip through the maze Stuck in a loop, trapped in your gaze Yeah, I run, I fall, but I never can touch I want you too bad, I need you too much [Bridge - Rap Section] [fast triplet flow, energetic afro-trap rap, aggressive hi-hats] [Fast Trap Beat Drop] Look! Frozen in place when you walked in the room Bright as the sun, but you brought me my doom! High-speed chase, but I’m running in place I can never forget the frame of your face! Heavy 808s bumping, my pulse going fast An illusion of beauty that never can last I’m spending my night just searching the floor Knocking real hard on a phantom door! You’re a queen, a dream, a ghost on the screen The prettiest vision that I've ever seen! (And I still can't reach...) [Chorus] [full energy, gang doubles, maximum harmonies] I’m chasing your shadow in the middle of the night You’re blinding my eyes like a flash of light I reach for your hand but you slip through the maze Stuck in a loop, trapped in your gaze Yeah, I run, I fall, but I never can touch I want you too bad, I need you too much [Outro] [fading hi-hats, solo electric piano, soft vocal ad-libs] (Reverse FX) Still running... Still chasing a ghost... Out of reach... (Fade out)
