Ghost in the Group Chat

[Verse 1] Phone face-down on the kitchen table Still lights up like a bad idea Old friend, dead dealer, one ex I swore Would finally disappear this year Somebody changed the group name twice Somebody left, then slid back in Somebody sent a dead laugh emoji Like none of us know where we’ve been [Pre-Chorus] I cut those numbers I cleared that thread But ghosts don’t need a body To get back in your head [Chorus] Ghost in the group chat Buzzing through the dark Ghost in the group chat Still hitting every nerve I’ve got One bad name And the whole room shifts Ghost in the group chat Like the past still wants a hit [Verse 2] “Hey man, long time” “Hope you’ve been good” “Crazy to think how wild we got” Yeah, no shit, I know, I should There’s a girl from 2019 Still posting quotes about the moon And one guy who says he found God But only after county and a spoon I laugh too hard, then lock the screen Like that’ll keep the dead thing dead But half my life still lives inside A cracked old phone and a blue-dot thread [Pre-Chorus] I mute the thread It still comes through Funny how the worst ghosts always Know exactly when to move [Chorus] Ghost in the group chat Buzzing through the dark Ghost in the group chat Still hitting every nerve I’ve got One bad name And the whole room shifts Ghost in the group chat Like the past still wants a hit [Bridge] I don’t miss the people I miss the version that could survive them Or maybe I miss nothing And just hate how fast my pulse forgives them No séance No prayer Just one screen lighting up the room And all the old dumb hunger Walking back in through the blue [Breakdown] Seen at 2:14 Typing… Stopped Seen at 2:14 Typing… Stopped Ghost in the group chat Won’t stay dropped [Final Chorus] Ghost in the group chat Buzzing through the dark Ghost in the group chat Still hitting every nerve I’ve got One bad name And the whole room shifts Ghost in the group chat Like the past still wants a hit Ghost in the group chat And I still feel it twitch [Outro] Buzz buzz Screen lights up Wrong name At the worst time
