Verse 1
I can't find my feet anymore
My hands are drifting through the floor
I'm haunting you
I'm haunting you
In this verse, the speaker expresses confusion and disconnection. "I can’t find my feet anymore" suggests a loss of control or stability, which fits the ghostly theme. The drifting hands symbolize a lack of physical presence but an emotional weight still lingering. The repetition of "I'm haunting you" emphasizes their desire to be noticed, creating a sense of urgency and sorrow.
Chorus
You don't see me walk through the walls
And you're ignoring all my calls
I'm haunting you
I'm haunting you
The chorus reinforces the theme of invisibility. The lines convey frustration; the speaker is trying to reach out but feels completely overlooked. Walking through walls symbolizes their ghostly state, while "ignoring all my calls" reflects a deep yearning for acknowledgment. It's a powerful way to show how someone can feel so close yet so far away.
Verse 2
I saw you looking through the door
Of your 2006 Accord
I floated up, to the 3rd floor
Well, watch the news if you get bored
This verse introduces a more specific scenario. The speaker observes the person from a distance, which adds a layer of intimacy but also sadness. The mention of the "2006 Accord" gives it a relatable touch, grounding the ghostly experience in reality. The line about watching the news adds a touch of dark humor, suggesting that life goes on for the living, while the speaker is stuck in their own spirit world.
Chorus
You heard a noise and then you laughed
A couple of days after I passed
You brushed it off, slept alone
You'll never know, that I'm a ghost
The repetition of the chorus reminds us again of the speaker's struggle for recognition. Here, it highlights the disconnect between the living and the dead. The laughter after hearing a noise shows how easily the living dismiss things they don’t understand. The line "you'll never know, that I'm a ghost" is haunting and bittersweet, underscoring the tragedy of unacknowledged loss.
Bridge
I found your privacy for rent
I'll follow you until your end
When you were young, you liked the snow
But now you're all dried up and cold
In the bridge, the tone shifts slightly to a more possessive vibe. "I'll follow you until your end" suggests an unbreakable bond, even in death. The line about liking snow in youth contrasts with the current state of being "dried up and cold," symbolizing lost innocence and joy. It reflects the idea that life changes us, often in painful ways.
Outro
I can't find my feet anymore
My hands are drifting through the floor
I'm haunting you
I'm haunting you
The outro circles back to the beginning, reinforcing the sense of being trapped. The repetition brings closure but also a lingering feeling of despair. It’s like the speaker is stuck in this loop of haunting, unable to break free or find peace.
Closing Thoughts

I can't find my feet anymore
My hands are drifting through the floor
I'm haunting you
I'm haunting you
You don't see me walk through the walls
And you're ignoring all my calls
I'm haunting you
I'm haunting you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I saw you looking through the door
Of your 2006 Accord
I floated up, to the 3rd floor
Well, watch the news if you get bored
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You heard a noise and then you laughed
A couple of days after I passed
You brushed it off, slept alone
You'll never know, that I'm a ghost
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I can't find my feet anymore
My hands are drifting through the floor
I'm haunting you
I'm haunting you
You don't see me walk through the walls
And you're ignoring all my calls
I'm haunting you
I'm haunting you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I found your privacy for rent
I'll follow you until your end
When you were young, you liked the snow
But now you're all dried up and cold
When you're in bed, you lie awake
I haunt your dreams, you think I'm fake
I walk around, when you're asleep
You'll never know the walls I creep
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I can't find my feet anymore
My hands are drifting through the floor
I'm haunting you
I'm haunting you
You don't see me walk through the walls
And you're ignoring all my calls
I'm haunting you
I'm haunting you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I can't find my feet anymore
My hands are drifting through the floor
I can't find my feet anymore
My hands are drifting through the floor
I'm haunting you
I'm haunting you
You don't see me walk through the walls
And you're ignoring all my calls
I'm haunting you
I'm haunting you
I can't find my feet anymore
My hands are drifting through the floor
I'm haunting you
I'm haunting you
