Ghost
Chasing Shadows: Embracing the Ghost of Lost Love
Lyrics
Youngblood thinks there's always tomorrow
Expressing a belief that the young person feels there is always another day or opportunity.
I miss your touch on nights when I'm hollow
Longing for physical contact during lonely nights.
I know you crossed a bridge that I can't follow
Acknowledging that the person has taken a path or made a decision that the speaker cannot follow.
Since the love that you left is all that I get
Reflecting on the aftermath of a departed love, where all that remains is the pain left behind.
I want you to know
Expressing a desire for the departed person to be aware of the emotions being experienced.
That if I can't be close to you
Desiring closeness with the departed person.
I'll settle for the ghost of you
Expressing a willingness to settle for the memory or essence of the departed person if physical closeness is not possible.
I miss you more than life (more than life)
Emphasizing the intensity of missing the departed person, surpassing the significance of life itself.
And if you can't be next to me
Addressing the departed person, expressing that their memory is a source of intense joy or pleasure.
Your memory is ecstasy
Reiterating the profound longing for the departed person.
I miss you more than life
Continuing to express the deep yearning for the departed person.
I miss you more than life
Repetition emphasizing the enduring and intense nature of the longing.
Youngblood thinks there's always tomorrow (woo)
Reiteration of the young person's optimistic outlook that there will be another chance or opportunity.
I need more time but time can't be borrowed
Expressing a need for more time but recognizing that time is not something that can be borrowed.
I'd leave it all behind if I could follow
Expressing a willingness to leave everything behind to follow the departed person if possible.
Since the love that you left is all that I get
Repeating the idea that all that remains is the love left by the departed person.
I want you to know
Reiterating the desire for the departed person to be aware of the emotions experienced in their absence.
That if I can't be close to you
Re-emphasizing the willingness to settle for the memory or essence of the departed person if physical closeness is unattainable.
I'll settle for the ghost of you
Reaffirming the intense missing of the departed person, surpassing the significance of life itself.
I miss you more than life (more than life), yeah
Reiterating the idea that the departed person's memory is more significant than life.
And if you can't be next to me

Your memory is ecstasy (oh)
