I should’ve told you
When I had the chance
(Ecnahc eht dah I nehw uoy dlot ev’dluohs I)

I should’ve told you when I had the chance
Lost in the memories we don’t have
I wanted to hold you in hopeless romance
Mmm, you fade like a ghost

I’ve been from London to Aberdeen (Wow)
Inside a coupe and from inside a private limousine (Cool?)
Do you think it really matters if I wear designer? (No)
‘Cause I don’t, if I don’t have her, what’s the point of finer things? (Things, things, things)
I’m ex-nihilo, like Augustine (Amen)
But I confess I haven’t been the best internally (Why not?)
I keep seeing two moons in my dreams (Again?)
Can you tell me what they really mean?

I should’ve told you when I had the chance
Lost in the memories we don’t have
I wanted to hold you in hopeless romance
Mmm, you fade like a ghost

Can you catch me when I fall? (Fall)
I’m in love with the idea (Idea)
Of who you are (I’m in love with a lie)
I tried to look the other way
But I’m lying to myself
I never wanted it to end

I had no other option
I had to find a way to leave before you walked in
At the end the chase was all I really wanted
But it’s too late for that
You give heart attacks
And I find it hard to sleep (It’s hard to sleep, it’s hard to sleep)
‘Cause I’m afraid of ghosts, and I can hear you talking (Blah, blah, blah, blah)
So perpetual, you show no sign of stopping (Stop)
It’s too late for that (Fuck), can’t you understand? (Ah)

I should’ve told you (Told you, told you)
When I had the chance (I had the chance, I had the chance)
Lost in the memories we don’t have (Never had it, never have)
I wanted to hold you (I wanted holding onto hope)
In hopeless romance (Hopeless romance)
Mmm, you fade like a ghost (Like a ghost, like a ghost)

(Ahh, you fade like a ghost)
(Ahh, you fade like a ghost)

(I should’ve told you)
(When I had the chance)
(Lost in the memories we don’t ha—)

You could at least just make it easy (Easy)
You know I hate bein’ so needy (Needy)
Got my attention on a leash and I don’t want it back
Unintentionally acting creepy (Creepy)
In front of her, but she can’t see me (Can’t see)
I think she thinks I’m on the spectrum (I was the ghost)
I’m pretty sure she wants to leave (It’s been me)
And I don’t blame her
