The process of writing songs is very personal and always surprising. I am often inspired into an idea by a small moment. And yet, what I start out trying to do is usually what I don’t achieve. I frequently find the end result of what I’ve done to be entirely different from my initial expectations.

Lyrics:

I went walking
One day to find you
Left behind
My life that didn’t know you
You’re the shadow that follows me
You keep my lights on in darkened rooms

I know your there
Somewhere out of sight
You live in the darkness
In the corners of my life
You’re the shadow that follows me
You keep my mind on the thought of you

CHORUS:
You turn the lights on
In darkened rooms
Ghost
You turn the lights on
In darkened rooms
Ghost
I’m awake at night with the monsters
We dance all night like we’re haunted
You turn the lights on in darkened rooms
Ghost

I was talking one day to no one
Questioning my ghost
Why they had been chosen
You’re the shadow that follows me
You keep my lights on in darkened rooms

CHORUS:
You turn the lights on
In darkened rooms
Ghost
You turn the lights on
In darkened rooms
Ghost
I’m awake at night with the monsters
We dance all night like we’re haunted
You turn the lights on in darkened rooms
Ghost

I keep dancing with my shadow
Falling through arms too hollow
Got me searching for you
Haunted by my imagination
I keep dancing with my shadow
Falling through arms too hollow

But when there’s no you
Then there’s no we we we we
I spend my nights dancing with your shadow do do

CHORUS:
You turn the lights on
In darkened rooms
Ghost
You turn the lights on
In darkened rooms
Ghost
I’m awake at night with the monsters
We dance all night like we’re haunted
You turn the lights on in darkened rooms
Ghost
(I’m awake at night with the monsters
We stay up all night for the answers
And I smile when they come to find me
But I know that they’re never gonna let me go)
Ghost
