(ooh, yeah) {soft electric piano chords,
distant late-night vinyl crackle} Your number's still on my phone screen
I trace the lines of where we should be
But you belong to someone else's space
And I'm left staring at an empty place {tender finger-snaps,
soft electric bass entrance} I know I shouldn't call you late
Locked outside of an iron gate (yeah)
{chords swelling, drums filtering up}
Why do I want the one I can't touch
Why does a shadow hurt this much
I'm holding on to a ghost of us
Oh, it's a beautiful,
painful rush (it hurts so much) {soaring falsetto,
deep sub-bass drop} Saw you laughing in the heavy rain
He pulled you close,
I felt the phantom pain
I had to turn my face and walk away
With nothing left but bitter things to say
{drums drop out, Rhodes
only} Why do I want the one I can't touch
Why does a shadow hurt this much
I'm holding on to a ghost of us
Oh, it's a beautiful,
painful rush (yeah, yeah)
{full drum groove returns with
warm synth pad layers}
(just a ghost of us) (can't touch...) {fading
electric piano, vinyl crackle,
vocal trailing
off}
