Prom Night Ghost

You're my prom night ghost, still dancin' slow

In the corners of my mind, where the shadows go

The song on the radio takes me back

To a suit too small and a heart gone black

You're my prom night ghost, I can't let fade

In a photograph life we never made

You're gone but I feel you the most

When I'm haunted by my prom night ghost

I still see you in that borrowed dress

Backseat perfume, nerves confess

We were kids with a lifetime dream

Two rings drawn on a notebook seem

That high school gym with the lights turned low

Slow dance promises we couldn't owe

Now I drive past the field where we carved our names

And all I hear is the echo of your flames

You're my prom night ghost, still dancin' slow

In the corners of my mind, where the shadows go

Every song on the radio takes me back

To a suit too small and a heart gone black

You're my prom night ghost, I can't let fade

In a photograph life we never made

You're gone but I feel you the most

When I'm haunted by my prom night ghost

Bouquet flowers pressed in a bible spine

Faded ink where you signed your line

That corsage wilted but the memory stays

Like a scar tattooed in a young man's haze

We swore forever in a midnight car

But forever broke before it got too far

Now the mirror shows a stranger's face

But I still chase your memory's grace

You're my prom night ghost, still dancin' slow

In the corners of my mind, where the shadows go

Every song on the radio takes me back To a suit too small and a heart gone black

You're my prom night ghost, I can't let fade

In a photograph life we never made

You're gone but I feel you the most

When I'm haunted by my prom night ghost

Every street light flickers like the disco ball

Every shadow whispers down the high school hall

We grew apart but the night still stays

A ghost in the dark of my yesterdays
