(Intro) (Optional: Sparse piano chords or a solitary synth melody) Streetlights paint patterns on my wall... Another Friday night, hear laughter down the hall... Just the clock ticking... ticking... (Strophe 1 - Verse 1) Four walls around me, feel 'em closing in Got a movie playing, don't know where it begins Or where it ends, yeah, the storyline's a blur Like conversations I wish that would occur. See couples walking, hand-in-hand outside my pane While silver raindrops race each other down the drain. My phone stays silent, screen reflects my face Lost connection somewhere, lost in time and space. (Pre-Chorus) And oh, this quiet gets so loud sometimes A symphony of missed goodbyes and lonely chimes Yeah, the air is heavy, thick with what's unsaid Just the echo of the footsteps in my head... (Refrain - Chorus) 'Cause I'm dancing solo in the pale moonlight Just a ghost in my own house tonight Tryna fill the silence with a fragile sound Wishing someone else was around. Yeah, lonely's a language everybody knows But nobody talks about how deep it goes Just a ghost in my own house tonight... tonight... (Strophe 2 - Verse 2) Remember crowded rooms, the energy, the heat Now every chair's empty on this one-way street Scroll through old photos, faces smiling bright Did they forget me? Did I just fade from sight? Maybe I built these walls too high for anyone to climb Or maybe closeness just ran out of time. Tried reaching out once, maybe twice before But the signal faded, knocking on a closed door. (Pre-Chorus) And oh, this quiet gets so loud sometimes A symphony of missed goodbyes and lonely chimes Yeah, the air is heavy, thick with what's unsaid Just the echo of the footsteps in my head... (Refrain - Chorus) 'Cause I'm dancing solo in the pale moonlight Just a ghost in my own house tonight Tryna fill the silence with a fragile sound Wishing someone else was around. Yeah, lonely's a language everybody knows But nobody talks about how deep it goes Just a ghost in my own house tonight... tonight... (Bridge) Is there a frequency I'm missing? A call I didn't hear? Or is this feeling just a constant, year after year? Maybe tomorrow, sun will break the grey Maybe a voice will call my name and chase the ghost away. But right now, in the stillness, deep and wide There's just this hollow feeling deep inside. (Refrain - Chorus) 'Cause I'm dancing solo in the pale moonlight (Solo tonight...) Just a ghost in my own house tonight (In my own house...) Tryna fill the silence with a fragile sound (Oh, the silence...) Wishing someone else was around (Someone around...). Yeah, lonely's a language everybody knows (Everybody knows...) But nobody talks about how deep it goes (How deep it goes...) Just a ghost in my own house tonight... tonight... (Outro) (Music fades slowly, maybe repeating "Ghost in my own house" or the intro melody) Ghost in my own house... Tonight... tonight... Just a ghost... (Fades out)
