[Verse 1: Elena Tonra]
I was starting to spin out
At how the seasons don't last
Why I'm dreaming of somewhere long past
Light flash, then, all the colours drained fast
Now, I'm getting sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
Gets so heavy when I think of you
When we're apart, it's when I start
Glowing in the dark
[Chorus 1: Elena Tonra]
On my telephone
I just long to know
What's the future like?
Is there time enough?
[Post-Chorus: Igor Haefeli]
(Future lover)
[Verse 2]
I'm not trying to creep you out
Seen a fair amount of misty-eyed actors
And split-screens have always raised my suspicions
Are you listening for sweet nothings from a ghost in the room?
Gets so heavy when I think of you
I lie awakе, always the way
It's always a trap, the insomniac
Buzzing at the back
[Chorus 2: Elena Tonra & Igor Haefeli]
On my tеlephone (future lover)
I just long to know (left to wonder)
What's the future like? (Wait another year)
Is there time enough (left to bother?)
[Post-Chorus: Igor Haefeli]
(Future lover)
[Bridge: Elena Tonra]
I lie awake, always the way
It's always a trap, the insomniac
Buzzing at the back
(Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room)
(Gets so heavy when I think of you)
I lie awake, always the way
It's always a trap, the insomniac
Buzzing at the back
(Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room)
(Gets so heavy when I think of you)
[Chorus 3: Elena Tonra & Igor Haefeli]
On my telephone (future lover)
I just long to know (left to wonder)
What's the future like? (Wait another year)
Is there time enough?
[Outro: Elena Tonra]
Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
Gets so heavy when I think of you
Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
Gets so heavy when I think of you
Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
Gets so heavy when I think of you
Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
Gets so heavy when I think of you

Elena Tonra:
This is a bit more of a fun one, it’s quite joyful in some ways, even if the subject isn’t particularly. It’s about longing for someone but there’s a playfulness to it—a little tiny bit of humour. The song is actually really old and it’s the last one we finished, so it’s had a really l...
