Ghost Face

Lirik

[Intro] You left the hallway light on. I can see you from the glass. [Verse 1] Cold print on the mirror, five marks, no hand Your coat on the chair where I used to stand I know every floorboard that gives you away I learned all your footsteps before I could stay You call it a draft when the curtains pull wide I’m just on the wrong side, still close to your side One face in the frame, then a blur when you turn You keep saying my name like it’s something to burn [Chorus] Ghost face, pressed to the pane I don’t knock, I just wait in the rain You shut every door, still I’m in the room A pale little shape where the portraits bloom Ghost face, you know what I know I was here long before you let go Say you’re alone, say the house is asleep I’m the one in the glass when you try not to peep [Verse 2] The clock skips a minute whenever you lie The hallway gets longer; the ceiling sits high That old family picture keeps changing its grin There’s a new empty space where I should have been You hid all the letters beneath the loose stair But dust keeps the outline; I know they’re still there No rage in my mouth, just a fact I can prove You can bury the truth, but it still learns to move [Chorus] Ghost face, pressed to the pane I don’t knock, I just wait in the rain You shut every door, still I’m in the room A pale little shape where the portraits bloom Ghost face, you know what I know I was here long before you let go Say you’re alone, say the house is asleep I’m the one in the glass when you try not to peep [Outro] Leave the hallway light on. Don’t look back at the glass. I’m still here.
