I see ghosts
Haunting Memories: Embracing Ghosts in Love's WakeLyrics
I see ghosts
I perceive or sense the presence of spirits
But don't worry girl, don't let em threaten your soul
Assuring someone not to be troubled by the ghosts and not let them harm their inner self
I might call out a name every now and then
Occasionally mentioning someone's name, but emphasizing they are just ghosts
But don't worry your pretty head, they're just ghosts
Reassurance that the listener shouldn't worry because the haunting memories are just like ghosts
I don't know why I'm still haunted by memories of you
Expressing confusion about why memories of the person still linger
Time after time, after everything, all I see is you
Despite the passage of time and various experiences, the singer is fixated on thoughts of the person
I know I'm tripping bout an old thang
Acknowledging preoccupation with a past relationship
I know it's difficult for you and that's a sure thing
Acknowledging the difficulty for the listener, emphasizing its certainty
To hear me rant about the past in such a cold way
Reflecting on expressing past events in a detached manner
And how you remind me of times I grabbed on her waist
Comparing the listener to someone from the past
But I'm lost and I can't hide it
Expressing being lost and unable to conceal it
No one else I can confide in
Feeling a lack of confidants
It's unfair, I realise it
Realizing the unfairness of the situation
I need you but I can't fight it
Expressing a need for the listener despite the inability to resist it
I see ghosts
Reiteration of perceiving ghosts
But don't worry girl, don't let em threaten your soul
Reassurance to the listener not to be distressed by the ghosts
I might call out a name every now and then
Mentioning names occasionally but emphasizing they are just ghosts
But don't worry your pretty head, they're just ghosts
Reassurance that the haunting memories are not a threat
I don't know why, I'm still haunted by memories of you
Expressing uncertainty about why memories of the person persist
Time after time, after everything, all I see is you
Despite time and experiences, the persistent focus is on the person
I got a confession to make to you
Disclosing a confession to the listener
Don't wanna make it seem like I bring disrespect to you
Ensuring the listener doesn't perceive disrespect
But there's this feeling I get around you I can't subdue
Describing an overwhelming feeling around the listener
That you're a ghost from a past that I can't seem to lose
Suggesting the listener is a ghost from an unforgettable past
No matter just how many corners I try to turn
Efforts to move on are unsuccessful
A rebound once again?
Questioning the wisdom of entering into another relationship quickly
Guess it seems like I never learn
Admitting a pattern of not learning from past mistakes
I don't even know who this song is for, for you or her?
Uncertainty about the intended recipient of the song
Or her? Or her? Or her? I keep dating the same girls
Repeatedly dating similar types of individuals
I see ghosts
Reiteration of perceiving ghosts
But don't worry girl, don't let em threaten your soul
Reassuring the listener not to be troubled by the ghosts
I might call out a name every now and then
Mentioning names occasionally but emphasizing they are just ghosts
But don't worry your pretty head, they're just ghosts
Reassurance that the haunting memories are not a threat
I don't know why I'm still haunted by memories of you
Expressing confusion about why memories of the person persist
Time after time, after everything, all I see is you
Despite time and experiences, the persistent focus is on the person
Wherever you go, my friend
Commitment to encountering the person again, regardless of circumstances
I'll see you once again
Reiteration of a future meeting with the person
No matter the time or space
Emphasizing that the meeting will happen irrespective of time or space
I'll see you once again
Reassurance of encountering the person once more
You're my best friend, til the end
Affirming a deep and lasting friendship
My bestfriend, oh yeah
Reiteration of the person being a best friend
You're my bestfriend
Affirmation of the person being the singer's best friend
