about

I wrote this song shortly after moving from NYC to Chicago. It's a song about longing for a person, despite knowing that longing was, is, and always would be futile.

lyrics

I'm in a new city,
a new timezone
and it's a new chance for me,
it's a clean slate
and I can't wait
so tell me why do
I still think of you as I'm falling asleep?

Cause I should be done,
I should be moved on (moved on)
But like an errant dog,
you keep coming back though I thought you'd gone
Now

I miss your skin
and I miss your face
I miss the feel of your arms 'round my waist
I miss your cologne (miss your cologne)
and how it'd linger long after you went home
Yes I know (yes I know)
That there's no use to these things I cling to,
they're just ghosts (they're just ghosts)
Mmm, now I'm gone

One week here alone
Been keeping extra busy to avoid missing home
but then your name lights up my phone
I'd tell you that I dreamt of you last night,
But I won't

Cause I should be done,
I should be moved on (moved on)
From you
But like an errant dog,
you keep coming back leaving me confused
Now

I miss your skin
and I miss your face
I miss the feel of your arms 'round my waist
I miss your cologne (miss your cologne)
and how it'd linger long after you went home
Yes I know (yes I know)
That there's no use to these things I cling to,
They're just ghosts (they're just ghosts)
Mmm, I'm still gone

I won't lie, I fantasize about
what we could've been
Oh if I stayed there,
would you have cared to be more than just friends?

Cause I miss your skin,
and I miss your face
Oh God, I wish I had savored the taste
of your cologne (of your cologne)
and how it'd linger long after you went home
Yes I know (yes I know)
That there's no use to these things I cling to,
they're just ghosts (they're just ghosts/ oh you know, you know)
You're still gone
