From the corner of your eye, you spy a slight movement
Compared to the stillness of life, this seems an improvement
But the ache of solitude still resounds in your gut
As your naked flesh tingles from head to foot

Turning around you see a door slightly ajar but untouched
Curious then that the sight os such makes your blood...gush

Unseen it's time to come clean
I confess that I've been watching you
For the moment you arrived
I was always by your side
I'm the cold chill in the air
The presence you felt over your shoulder
Come with me, we're moving in tandem
I've always been here I'm a traveling phantom

I can't resist those everyday moments
The comb through your hair, it's magic unnoticed
I'm always watching you closely and I'm learning so much
My spirit it aches, I'm longing for your touch
And this song isn't much, but I sing it when you sleep
Seeping into your dreams and the secrets you keep
I know I gotta move on but I can't seem to advance
Got a smile on my face when you're alone and you dance
And this romance is worth the wait
Because your laughter is brighter than heaven's gate
I know we'll meet soon the equation is easy
Someday you'll pass on leave your body and see me

Take my hand, don't be scared
There's no way you could be prepared
For what comes next...for what comes next

We can look back through seasons past and weep
While we're stuck standing at the edge of the track
Wave goodbye when you know you wanna reach out again
Played it over in our heads it coulda been different in the end
But we know

You can summon me, sing my anthem
Journey through space and time in tandem
See things mortal souls can't fathom
Come with me, I'll be your traveling phantom

Trying to wake you up with a dream
Conducted from my spirit
Longing from the other side of our lives
No need for you to hear it
Some feelings are mutual they will parallel forever
I only wish to tell you that
For the day we are together so remember

You can summon me, sing my anthem
Journey through space and time in tandem
See things mortal souls can't fathom
Come with me, I'll be your traveling phantom

You exit your self imposed sanctum to find yourself alone
Albeit a change of immediate scene, but still home
No longer feeling security in the fortress of your own construction
You surrender to an unspoken powerful compulsion
And escape, into the isolation only a crowd can provide
Little do you know, the silhouette that you had glimpsed inside
Feeding, symbiotic, and under your skin
Wherever you travel, you're twinned
By a phantom
