About This Track

'Two Ghosts' arrives as the fourth track on Harry Styles' self-titled debut album, written by Styles alongside John Ryan, Julian Bunetta, Mitch Rowland, and Tyler Johnson. Production came from Jeff Bhasker, Alex Salibian, and Johnson. The song was released as the album's second single in August 2017.

The lyric builds a portrait of estrangement inside a relationship that still exists in form but not in feeling. Styles catalogues the surface sameness ('same lips red, same eyes blue') before the refrain pulls back to reveal two people occupying the space where intimacy used to be, trying to remember what connection felt like. The imagery stays domestic and small: fridge light, moon through a window, stories retold because neither party will say what they mean.

The arrangement keeps the melancholy measured, letting the central metaphor do its work without decoration. It's a breakup song about the moment before the breakup, when both people are already gone.

"Two Ghosts" is a single by Harry Styles, from the album Harry Styles, released 11th May 2017. The track is 3:50 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Harry Styles.

Lyrics

Two Ghosts

Same lips red, same eyes blue
Same white shirt, couple more tattoos
But it's not you and it's not me
Tastes so sweet, looks so real
Sounds like something that I used to feel
But I can't touch what I see

We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

The fridge light washes this room white
Moon dances over your good side
And this was all we used to need
Tongue-tied like we've never known
Telling those stories we already told
'Cause we don't say what we really mean

We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
We're not who we used to be
We don't see what we used to see
We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

I'm just trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat
