ghosts!
Sophie Cates Lyrics

You left your shadow here
You left a part of yourself behind

Can you come and pick it up?
Can you come and retrieve it?

With all the boxes, dear
With all the things you left behind

Of things you left and then forgot
Of things you left behind and no longer remember

Because I'm trying to clear
Because I'm trying to remove

Out every memory of us
Out every recollection of our relationship

Oh, darling, you should know
Oh, darling, you should be aware

It don't feel like I'm alone
It doesn't feel like I'm alone

I keep seeing ghosts and up the stairs
I keep encountering apparitions and going upstairs

I feel something behind me, like you're there
I sense something behind me, as if you are present

I keep seeing your face in every mirror
I consistently see your face reflected in every mirror

I think I'm going crazy
I believe I am losing my sanity

But you're everywhere, baby
But you are present in every place, my dear

Are you messing with me?
Are you playing tricks on me?

Is this some kind of fucked up joke?
Is this some twisted prank?

'Cause I checked yesterday
Because I confirmed yesterday

And that's not where I left your coat
And your coat is not in the place I left it

You should feel my heartbeat
You should experience my heartbeat

Every time I hear my phone
Each time I hear my phone ring

And I can't tell what's in my mind
And I cannot distinguish what is in my thoughts

Have you been coming to me at night?
Have you been visiting me during the nighttime?

Please, take the pictures
Please, remove the photographs

I swear that the eyes move
I promise that the eyes within the pictures appear to shift

Please take your sweatshirt
Please retrieve your sweatshirt

No space in my bedroom (Ooh)
My bedroom has no room for it

Take the mixtapes
Take the cassette tapes

They keep playing in the middle of the night
They continue playing during the nocturnal hours

I'm messing with my own damn mind
I'm toying with my own mind

You're everywhere, baby
You are present in every place, my dear

Everywhere I go
Wherever I go

Comin' up behind me
Approaching me from behind

Like you've been trying to find me
As if you have been attempting to locate me

And I keep getting haunted by these sounds
And I continue to be tormented by these noises

I know I haven't heard them since you were around
I am aware that I have not heard them since you were present

And I keep playing mind games with myself
And I keep engaging in psychological manipulation with myself

I think I'm going crazy
I believe I am losing my sanity

But you're everywhere, baby
But you are present in every place, my dear
