Intro
Another day, another ghost.
Verse 1
Woke up this morning, reached for your side of the bed Cold sheets, empty space, it's all in my head I walk to the kitchen, to the coffee pot we bought together I can still hear you laughing, saying 'us forever' The steam from the cup, it fogs up the glass And for a second, I see your face in the pass But it's just a reflection, a trick of the light A ghost in every room, day and night
Pre-chorus
Every corner holds a memory of you Every shadow looks a little too much like you do
Chorus
There's a ghost in every room, you're everywhere I go In the static of the radio, in the falling of the snow A ghost in every room, a whisper in the air A constant reminder that you're no longer there
Verse 2
I tried to move the furniture, to rearrange the space But your favorite armchair, it still holds your shape I see you on the sofa, watching our favorite show I can almost hear you telling me which way the story will go I found a strand of your hair on the pillowcase today It's pathetic, I know, but I can't throw it away It's a piece of you, a tangible thing In this house of memories, where silence sings
Pre-chorus
Every corner holds a memory of you Every shadow looks a little too much like you do
Chorus
There's a ghost in every room, you're everywhere I go In the static of the radio, in the falling of the snow A ghost in every room, a whisper in the air A constant reminder that you're no longer there
Bridge
I scream your name into the void, but there's no reply Just the echo of my own voice, and a tear in my eye I want to hate you for leaving, for this mess you left behind But all I feel is this love for you, the haunting kind
Chorus
There's a ghost in every room, you're everywhere I go In the static of the radio, in the falling of the snow A ghost in every room, a whisper in the air A constant reminder that you're no longer there
Outro
Ghost in every room... I still care.
Inside the recording
Another day, another ghost.
Every corner holds a memory of you Every shadow looks a little too much like you
Ghost in every room... I still care.
