“Casper” is the first single from Sleeping Lion’s upcoming record “Most Improved”. The duo originally co-wrote “Casper” with Emily Kocontes (EMME) in the fall of 2019 following a strange experience Nate Flaks (of Sleeping Lion) had while visiting a long distance relationship in Chicago.

[Verse 1]
You call it off
So abrupt
You didn’t even give me time to pack my stuff
I couldn’t argue
I just left your house
A friendly ghost
A close encounter
We never got to have a happy ever after
So I left a letter on your kitchen counter
And my clothes on the couch
There’s a part of me in your apartment now…
[Chorus]
I hope I haunt you
A little bit
Just a little bit
I hope I haunt you
A little bit
Can’t get rid of it
If you’re gonna forget about me
I’m not gonna make it so easy
I hope I haunt you
A little bit
Just a little bit
Please
[Verse 2]
You come around
When I’m lonely
It’s hard to find somebody else who really knows me
I try my best
But they never last long
Now you’re a friendly ghost
I don’t know who to call
And I’m just sitting hoping you’ll come floating through that wall
And we can laugh
And maybe act
Like there’s nothing wrong
Cause you said when we’re done…
[Chorus]
I hope I haunt you
A little bit
Just a little bit
I hope I haunt you
A little bit
Can’t get rid of it
If you’re gonna forget about me
I’m not gonna make it so easy
I hope I haunt you
A little bit
Just a little bit
Please
[Post-Chorus]
("Why do you keep disappearing?")
("I don't know... maybe I'm doing you a favor.")
[Verse 3]
I’ve got a hunch
A sixth sense
That maybe you’ll
Come back again
My friend ghost
I hope
This isn’t the end

Every love story is a ghost story…
After weeks of daily 8-hour calls/FaceTimes with someone I had recently reconnected with we decided to meet up in Chicago. When I arrived it was immediately a beautiful & romantic whirlwind.
After a few seemingly great days, she left alone in her apartment to...
