[Verse 1]
Is this my modern romance?
Our codependency dance?
How long can we make that last
With all that's stacked against us?
You kept on makin' up the breakdown
Give me somethin' to wash the pain down
Got hooked and caught up in a new sound
I can't keep goin' through this (Oh)
[Chorus]
Now I'm calling you my holy ghost
Disappearing when I need you most
And I let you overthink when we got too close (Oh)
Now I'm calling you my holy ghost
Yeah, you're nowhere when I need you most
Then I let you overthink, so you went rogue
Where'd you go? (Oh)
Where'd you go, my holy ghost? (Oh)
[Verse 2]
There's parts of me I think you know
More than anyone at all
I know it wasn't just for show
So where does all the love go?
Is this my modern romance?
Our codependency dance?
How long can we make that last?
I'm high from weed and sadness (Oh)
[Chorus]
Now I'm calling you my holy ghost
Disappearing when I need you most
And I let you overthink when we got too close (Oh)
Now I'm calling you my holy ghost
Yeah, you're nowhere when I need you most
Then I let you overthink, so you went rogue
Where'd you go? (Oh)
Where'd you go, my holy ghost? (Oh)
[Bridge]
There's parts of you I figured out
From all the shit you said out loud
Your spirit never left this house
And now you follow me around
You still follow me around (Oh)
[Chorus]
Now I'm calling you my holy ghost
Disappearing when I need you most
And I let you overthink when we got too close (Oh)
Now I'm calling you my holy ghost
Yeah, you're nowhere when I need you most (Nowhere)
Then I let you overthink, so you went rogue
Where'd you go? (Oh)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Where'd you go, my holy ghost? (Oh)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Where'd you go, my holy ghost? (Oh)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Where'd you go, my holy ghost? (Oh)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
