**[Intro]** Turn it louder. Maybe then I won't hear your name. **[Verse 1]** Two hundred bodies on the dance floor, A thousand colors in my eyes. Somebody pulls me through the doorway, Says tonight we're gonna feel alive. There's a girl dancing beside me, She smiles like she already knows. But every time the lights go white... I swear I see your ghost. **[Pre-Chorus]** So I drink another memory down, Let the bass erase the sound. Close my eyes inside the crowd... And there you are. **[Chorus]** I dance with the ghost of you, Underneath these flashing lights. Every stranger turns into you For a second every night. I dance with the ghost of you, Like your hands are on me still. I came here trying to forget you... But forgetting you Is something I can't kill. **[Drop]** Ghost! Ghost! I can feel you in the lights! Ghost! Ghost! Dancing with me every night! Gone, gone, But never really gone. The beat goes on. The beat goes on. **[Verse 2]** The room is getting hotter now, My shirt is sticking to my skin. Someone kisses me without a warning. For half a second I give in. But she doesn't taste like midnight, Doesn't laugh the way you did. And I hate myself for searching For you inside somebody else's kiss. **[Pre-Chorus]** So I lose myself inside the sound, Let another drink go down. Everybody's jumping now... And there you are. **[Chorus]** I dance with the ghost of you, Underneath these flashing lights. Every stranger turns into you For a second every night. I dance with the ghost of you, Like your hands are on me still. I came here trying to forget you... But forgetting you Is something I can't kill. **[Break]** Strobe light. Your face. Bass hit. Your name. Eyes closed. You're here. Eyes open... You disappear. **[Build]** Faster! Make it louder! Till I can't remember! Faster! Make it louder! Till I... LET YOU GO! **[Drop]** GHOST! Get out of my head! GHOST! Get out of my bed! Every light, Every sound, Every fucking place in town! GHOST! Tonight I'm letting go! **[Bridge]** Maybe I don't need to kill the memory. Maybe I don't need to make you disappear. Maybe someday when this song comes on, I'll remember us... And smile instead of wishing you were here. **[Final Chorus]** I danced with the ghost of you, Underneath these flashing lights. But tonight the stranger in the mirror Finally looks like me tonight. I danced with the ghost of you. Now I'm dancing on my own. You can stay inside the memory. But you don't get To follow me home. **[Final Drop]** Dance! Dance! Let the memory go! Dance! Dance! I don't need your ghost! Lights up! Hands high! For the first time... This night is mine! **[Outro]** The beat goes on. And so do I.
