Ghost We Dream Of

Verse 1: Him – Breathless, smooth

Every time I close my eyes

You're there like a fading light

I moved on, I swear I tried

But you haunt me every night

Verse 2: Her – Tender, almost fragile

I left your jacket by the door

But I still sleep in your cologne

I tell my friends "I don’t care no more"

Then cry in secrets when I'm alone

Pre-Chorus: Together – Layered harmonies

I breathe you in and can't let go

Your name still burns under my skin

I know you’re bad for me, I know

But I’d still fall all over again

Chorus: Both, Soaring, hypnotic, vocoder texture behind voices

'Cause I feel the echoes of you

In the dark when I try to move on

Every word, every kiss we knew

Still plays like a broken song

I feel the echoes of you

And no silence is ever strong

Enough to drown your love

You’re the ghost I’m dreamin’ of

Verse 3: Him – more intense

I had girls but none were real

All reflections of the way you feel

I lied to say I’m finally healed

But baby, pain’s the only thrill.

Bridge: Minimal beat, echoey keys

Tell me, do you dream of me?

Only every time I breathe

Are you still locked in that night?

You’re my curse and you're my light

Chorus: Both, Final repetition, added vocal runs and ad-libs

I feel the echoes of you

When I dance, when I drink, when I try

But you’re stitched in all I do

Like a shadow I can’t deny

I feel the echoes of you

And no silence is ever strong

Enough to drown your love

You’re the ghost I’m dreamin’ of.

Outro: Fading falsettos, ambient pads

And I still hear you…

Even in the quiet…

Both:

You're the echo, baby...

That never dies.
