Ghost Me

(Album: Paint My Bedroom Black - 2023)

I've been crying all night
And I know I shouldn't Google the symptoms
But it hurts this time
Kind of thought that I could handle the distance

No, I can't sleep in hotel rooms
The camera roll
Impending doom
Terrestrial TV to heal the bruise you left
An exit wound
And this city's fine, but I'm eternally unsatisfied
And if I shut my eyes

We're singing Angels at karaoke
On the most chaotic night
I can barely make you out
In the artificial light
And if you try to ghost me
And quit being in my life
Don't you dare
Don't you dare

I can tell you're all mine
But that's a dangerous road to go down
(Don't go, don't go there, baby)
And I've been trying all night
But this particular wave I'm struggling to ride

And where the hell did our childhood go?
It freaks me out how fast we grow
The more I see, the less I know
And this feels like The Truman Show
Everybody's up and left
And I can barely catch my breath
And when I shut my eyes

We're singing Angels at karaoke
On the most chaotic night
I can barely make you out
In the artificial light
And if you try to ghost me
And quit being in my life
Don't you dare
Don't you dare

Don't you dare
Don't you dare
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't you dare
Don't you dare
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't you dare
Don't you dare
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't you dare
Don't you dare
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
