Текст песни
A shadow on the windowpane, a silhouette i know
I swear i hear your footsteps on the stairs below
The phone lights up with ghost of texts from seven months ago
This empty room is learning how to echo
And in every stranger's laughter, in every turning head
I'm chasing just a glimpse of you, a feeling that i've fled
The city's full of mirrors, and i'm seeing you instead
Cause every corner holds a "maybe," every doorway's a mistake
I turn around, my heart jumps up, but it's your shape that you forgot to take
I'm haunted by the afterglow, for heaven's sake
Just a ghost i can't erase... it's never you
I order coffee for a two, a silly, stubborn game
And trace the lines your fingers left upon the window's frame
I hear our song in passing cars, they all sound just the same
Just another flare of memory, another name
And the world's a blur of "almosts," a film i can't rewind
I'm searching for your fingerprint i know i'll never find
You're etched in every streetlight, playing tricks upon my mind
Cause every corner holds a "maybe," every doorway's a mistake
I turn around, my heart jumps up, but it's your shape that you forgot to take
I'm haunted by the afterglow, for heaven's sake
Just a ghost i can't erase... it's never, never you
Is that you! In the rain, by the station? A flash of that old jacket blue
I'm running now, i'm calling out, pushing through the crowd for you
But it's just the rain... it's just the pain... coming down in sheets so loud
And i'm just a silhouette screaming in an empty crowd
So every corner's just a "maybe," every doorway's a mistake
I turn around, my heart gives up... it's your shape that you forgot to take
I'm haunted by the afterglow, for heaven's sake
Just a ghost i can't erase
It's never you... no, it's never you
A shadow on the windowpane... just the streetlight coming through
I guess the ghost... was always me... missing you
