About This Track

'Ghost' by Ava Max is a 2023 pop track from the album 'Diamonds & Dancefloors'. The lyrics frame a restless, half-metaphysical state, with an unwanted presence moving through the speaker’s body and environment, escalating into dread and sleepless paranoia. There are visions of being “wide awake”, even while the mind insists it is caught in dreams. Footsteps, spirits and a sense that something is wrong add a supernatural edge to the emotional intensity, while the refrain of being unable to shake these feelings keeps the mood taut and urgent.

"Ghost" is a single by Ava Max, from the album Diamonds & Dancefloors, released 27th January 2023. The track is 3:02 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 7 articles about Ava Max.

Lyrics

Ghost

You're in my blood and you're in my veins
And you're appearing in every face
So out of earth, I'm in outer space
Caught up in my dreams but I'm wide awake
Footsteps are following me all night long
Spirits are calling on me, something's wrong
Can't shake off my emotions, way too strong
Heart is underground and I feel you all around
Everywhere I go I'm haunted by your ghost
You stay on my mind, can't help but keep you close
Oh baby, everywhere I go I'm haunted by your ghost
You're the one I love and I fear the most, ahh
Keep having visions I can't control
I close my eyes just to feel your soul
It's in the air and I think you know
That if I never stop I might overdose
Footsteps are following me all night long
Spirits are calling on me, something's wrong
Can't shake off my emotions, way too strong
Heart is underground and I feel you all around
Everywhere I go I'm haunted by your ghost
You stay on my mind, can't help but keep you close
Oh baby, everywhere I go I'm haunted by your ghost
You're the one I love and I fear the most, ahh
I'm haunted by your ghost
It's what I fear the most
I'm haunted by your ghost
It's what I fear the most
Everywhere I go I'm haunted by your ghost
You stay on my mind, can't help but keep you close
Oh baby, everywhere I go I'm haunted by your ghost
You're the one I love and I fear the most, ahh
Everywhere I go I'm haunted by your ghost
You stay on my mind, can't help but keep you close
Oh baby, everywhere I go I'm haunted by your ghost
You're the one I love and I fear the most, ahh
I'm haunted by your ghost
It's what I fear the most
I'm haunted by your ghost
It's what I fear the most
