(Verse 1)
In another universe, we got it right,
Where every touch felt like pure light.
We didn’t break, we didn’t fall,
We had it all, we had it all.
In that world, the stars aligned,
And every moment was yours and mine.
No lies, no walls, just us
I spent my life chasing what I couldn’t keep,
Running through dreams that haunt me in my sleep. I built my world on fragile ground,
And watched it crumble without a sound.
We search for more, thinking there’s no cost,
But sometimes the gain is just what we’ve lost.
I thought freedom meant letting go,
But now I’m left with things I’ll never know.
(Pre-Chorus)
We’re all running from shadows we can’t see, Chasing ghosts, but we’re never free. We lose ourselves in the things we crave,
Building a life just to dig our own grave.
(Chorus)
I was chasing ghosts, thinking I’d find the light, But the more I ran, the darker the night. I thought I’d break free, but I broke apart,
Now I’m haunted by the pieces of my own heart. We chase the wind, thinking it’s what we need, But we’re left with nothing but the hunger and greed. I was chasing ghosts, thinking I’d feel alive, But all I found was the fear I’d survive.
(Verse 2)
Two kids looking up, asking why,
And I can’t tell them it’s because I’m afraid to try. We all wear masks, hide from the pain,
Pretending that sunshine will come with the rain. I thought I could control what slipped through my hands, But now I’m stuck in a wasteland of empty plans. We run so fast, but we’re standing still, Chasing what we want but never the will.
(Pre-Chorus) I was running from the truth I didn’t want to face,
Thinking I’d find peace in a different place.
But we’re all chasing ghosts in an endless race,
Trying to fill what time can’t erase.
(Chorus)
I was chasing ghosts, thinking I’d find the light, But the more I ran, the darker the night. I thought I’d break free, but I broke apart,
Now I’m haunted by the pieces of my own heart. We chase the wind, thinking it’s what we need, But we’re left with nothing but the hunger and greed. I was chasing ghosts, thinking I’d feel alive, But all I found was the fear I’d survive.
(Bridge)
Maybe the truth is, we never learn,
We build our fires just to watch them burn.
And when the smoke clears, all that remains,
Is the ghost of the life we tried to sustain.
(Chorus)
I was chasing ghosts, thinking I’d find the light, But the more I ran, the darker the night. I thought I’d break free, but I broke apart,
Now I’m haunted by the pieces of my own heart. We chase the wind, thinking it’s what we need, But we’re left with nothing but the hunger and greed. I was chasing ghosts, thinking I’d feel alive, But all I found was the fear I’d survive.
(Outro)
Yeah, we’re all chasing ghosts in the dark, Haunted by the things we thought would leave a mark. Sam and Sydney
