2:47 (Still Your Ghost)

(Intro – distant piano + soft vinyl crackle)
(Whispered, echoed:) 2:47… still awake…
(Verse 1)
Your side of the bed’s a map of where you used to lay
I trace the indent like it’ll bring you back one day
Phone’s on airplane, but I still check for your name
Every notification’s a lie dressed up in shame
(Pre-Chorus – faint strings swell)
The silence got loud when you walked out the door
Now it’s screaming your name across the hardwood floor
(Chorus – minimal piano + reverb-drenched vocal)
It’s 2:47 AM, and I’m still your ghost
Haunting the sheets where we loved the most
Every breath’s a memory I can’t let go
I’m a shadow in the glow of a love that won’t come home
(Verse 2)
Left your hoodie in the drawer, it’s starting to fade
Wore it like armor, but the scent’s been betrayed
Streetlight through the blinds cuts a line down my wall
Looks like the space where your shadow used to fall
(Pre-Chorus – strings tremble)
I replay the fight like a broken cassette
Wishing I’d paused before the words I regret
(Chorus – layered, fragile harmonies)
It’s 2:47 AM, and I’m still your ghost
Haunting the sheets where we loved the most
Every breath’s a memory I can’t let go
I’m a shadow in the glow of a love that won’t come home
(Bridge – piano solo + echoing vocal ad-lib)
Soft, broken: If I call… will you answer in dreams?
Echo: Dreams… dreams…
Strings fade in: Or am I just talking to the dark again?
(Final Chorus – bare, almost whispered)
It’s 2:47 AM, and I’m still your ghost
Drowning in echoes of the warmth we lost
One day I’ll wake up and you’ll be gone for good
Till then I’m stuck in the quiet… like I knew I would
(Outro – single piano note + fading reverb)
Whispered, barely audible: 2:47…
Crackle… silence.
