In an interview with Beyond the Stage magazine, Saad noted that this was “probably my favorite song I’ve ever put out.”
[Intro]
Ett, två, tre, fyra
[Verse 1]
I see shapes of you walking through the streets
It might be true, or just my mind playing tricks
Out on me
Do I haunt your head when you sleep?
Do you hide my name when you speak?
Yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause in the dark of this hotel bar you got me feelin' nostalgia
But when the lights come on, I swear I didn't know a thing about ya
Maybe I said too much, I see your face turning into a shadow
Now I’m sober, and October’s almost over
And I'm like
[Chorus]
Uh oh, now, where’d you go?
You opened the door, I've fallen for a ghost now
And I’ll keep aching while you keep fading away
Stockholm’s a ghost town now
Uh oh, now, where’d you go?
The sheets on the floor, I've fallen for a ghost now
And I’ll keep aching while you keep fading away
Stockholm’s a ghost town
[Drop]
Now
Stockholm’s a ghost town
Now
[Verse 2]
You wait seven hours to answer like I’m some
Cheap date
I must be a stage 5 sucker for
Believing the things that you feel
Does it scare you that we could be real?
My heart’s only human
But knows when it’s losing you
And I'm like
[Chorus]
Uh oh, now, where’d you go?
You opened the door, I've fallen for a ghost now
And I’ll keep aching while you keep fading away
Stockholm’s a ghost town now
Uh oh, now, where’d you go?
The sheets on the floor, I've fallen for a ghost now
And I’ll keep aching while you keep fading away
Stockholm’s a ghost town
[Drop]
Now
Stockholm’s a ghost town
Now
[Bridge]
‘Cause in the dark of that hotel bar when you said I was different
With your hand pushing back my hair I really thought that I was
And I'm like
[Chorus]
Uh oh, now, where’d you go?
You opened the door, I've fallen for a ghost now
And I’ll keep aching while you keep fading away
Stockholm’s a ghost town now
Uh oh, now, where’d you go?
The sheets on the floor, I've fallen for a ghost now
And I’ll keep aching while you keep fading away
(While you keep fading away)
[Outro]
Oooh
Stockholm’s a ghost town now
(Now I’m sober, and October’s almost over)
Oooh
Stockholm’s a ghost town now
Oooh
