Ghost of You Lyrics

Here I am waking up
Still can't sleep on your side
There's your coffee cup
The lipstick stain fades with time
If I can dream long enough
You'd tell me I'd be just fine
I'll be just fine

So I drown it out like I always do
Dancing through our house
With the ghost of you
And I chase it down
With a shot of truth
Dancing through our house
With the ghost of you

Cleaning up today
Found that old Zeppelin shirt
You wore when you ran away
And no one could feel your hurt
We're too young, too dumb
To know things like love
But I know better now
(Better now)

So I drown it out like I always do
Dancing through our house
With the ghost of you
And I chase it down
With a shot of truth
Dancing through our house
With the ghost of you

Too young, too dumb
To know things like love
Too young, too dumb

So I drown it out like I always do
Dancing through our house
With the ghost of you
And I chase it down
With a shot of truth
That my feet don't dance
Like they did with you

What is the Meaning of Ghost of You?

This poignant track explores the lingering pain and memories of a past relationship. The singer is trying to cope with his heartbreak by immersing himself in the daily routines and reminders of his lost love, like waking up on her side of the bed or finding an old shirt she used to wear. He tries to drown out the sorrow with distractions, symbolized by 'dancing through our house,' but he's still haunted by her 'ghost.' The song also touches on youthful naivety in love, reflecting on how they were 'too young, too dumb' to understand it fully. Ultimately, it's a deeply emotional exploration of loss, nostalgia, and the struggle to move on.
