Phantom Friend
Phantom Friend: Navigating Love's Turbulent Seas
Lyrics
Phantom friend where have you been
Expressing curiosity about the whereabouts of a phantom friend.
You surf on the waters
Metaphorically describing the friend navigating the challenging situations the singer is facing.
That I'm drowning in
Acknowledging the difficulties or struggles the singer is experiencing.
All I ever want to do
Desiring a carefree and easygoing experience with the phantom friend.
Is float along the coast with you
Expressing the desire to enjoy a pleasant time along the coast with the phantom friend.
You know
Reiteration of the desire and emphasis on mutual understanding.
You know
-Maybe I honestly just don't care where you've been
Indicating a lack of concern about the friend's past actions or whereabouts.
Maybe it's better left unsaid
Suggesting that some things are better left unspoken or undisclosed.
Maybe I honestly just don't care
Affirming the singer's indifference to the friend's activities.
No I don't care
-If you don't come home
Acceptance of the possibility that the friend may not return.
Phantom Friend where did you go
Questioning the friend's whereabouts again.
Racing up to meet that new plateau
Describing the friend's pursuit of a new experience or level in life.
All I ever want to do
Expressing the desire to face challenges and difficulties with the phantom friend.
Is die up on that hill with you
Reiteration of the desire and emphasis on mutual understanding.
You know
-Yeah, you know
-Maybe I honestly just don't care where you've been

In your silent tone
Referring to the friend's communication style as silent or distant.
The one I wish I'd never known
Expressing regret about knowing the friend's reserved or uncommunicative nature.
You said you'd prayed for space
Recalling the friend mentioning a need for personal space.
But how much you couldn't say
Reflecting on the friend's inability to fully express the extent of their feelings.
And so I raised my hand
Describing a symbolic gesture (raising hand) resulting in a significant distance between the singer and the friend.
And the sky split overhead
-Now there's a galaxy between us
