Ghost to Me Lyrics
Follow me, I see your silhouette
By your mother and your fathers bed
Your father grins as he hears what you said
To me in the park on the blanket
Home is where I call the ghost of my own
That haunts the basement where I sleep alone
It's seen the burns on my skin showing bones
And asks me why I still sleep with my phone
Wandering back from campus half asleep
Across the bridge leading to your keep
Every minute is a memory
You don't exist you're just a ghost to me
By your mother and your fathers bed
Your father grins as he hears what you said
To me in the park on the blanket
Home is where I call the ghost of my own
That haunts the basement where I sleep alone
It's seen the burns on my skin showing bones
And asks me why I still sleep with my phone
Wandering back from campus half asleep
Across the bridge leading to your keep
Every minute is a memory
You don't exist you're just a ghost to me
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
“Ghost to Me” is a bonus track and the 10th and final track off of Youth Lagoon’s album The Year in Hibernation.
The ghost might refer to an imaginary person who sees everything Trevor experiences, especially when he’s alone (perhaps God). The lyrics seem to say that it is both troubling and comforting to feel that someone sees his struggles.

Genius Answer
Although this wasn’t directly about the song Ghost To Me, in an interview with ABC News, Trevor talks about a theme related to that in the song:
I don’t romanticize the past at all. I didn’t write it with the idea of being nostalgic… but it’s like, haunting, the things that haunt me. That’s what inspires me.
