Ghost
Justin Bieber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I miss your touch on nights when I'm hollow
I know you crossed a bridge that I can't follow
Since the love that you left is all that I get
I want you to know
That if I can't be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life (more than life)
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life
Youngblood thinks there's always tomorrow
I need more time but time can't be borrowed
I'd leave it all behind if I could follow
Since the love that you left is all that I get
I want you to know
That if I can't be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life (yeah)
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy (oh)
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life
Whoa
Na, na-na
More than life
(Oh)
So if I can't get close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
But I miss you more than life
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life
I miss you more than life
The song Ghost by Justin Bieber is about missing someone so much that they become a ghost-like presence in your life. The lyrics are filled with emotions of longing, pain, and acceptance that the person they are missing is no longer there. The reference to Youngblood at the beginning of the song implies a younger, naive perspective on love and relationships, where one believes there will always be a tomorrow to make things right. However, as the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the love that was once shared is gone, and the only thing that remains is the memory of the person who is missed dearly.
The line "I miss your touch on nights when I'm hollow" evokes a sense of emptiness and heartache that cannot be filled by anyone or anything else. It highlights the deep connection and intimacy they once shared with this person, which cannot be replaced. The lyrics "I'd leave it all behind if I could follow" suggests that the singer is willing to give up everything to be with this person again, but they cannot due to circumstances outside their control. In the end, they have to settle for the ghostly memory of what they once had.

I can remember the first time I heard this song. I was driving home late one night, after spending the day with my wife, of nearly 17 years, who was in palliative care with pancreatic cancer. I've never in my life had a song bring so much emotion to me, and hit me so deeply as this song does. She passed in November 2021 from this horrible disease, and to this day, I still cry when I hear this song. My advice to all, is to love everyone with all your heart today, as there is no guarantee of tomorrow. There is nothing I wouldn't give, to spend one more day with her. Love you Anna!
