[Intro]
Tu, pa-la-pa-la, pa-li-pa-pa
Swirling white cloth
Cutout holes
It's my facade
Tapping tiny steps
Turn up the music
Bobbing around my head
Watching you sleep as I danced on your sheets
Embracing you secretly

[Verse]
I guess I was glad
To see you walk with someone else
Someone with the same air as me
Someone who laughs just like me
Someone who holds you just like me

[Pre-Chorus]
You reached out your right hand
Towards my sweet doppelgänger
So I stepped away
And I started to dance

[Chorus]
Tu-li, lu-pa-la-ta, lu-la-li-la
Kissing you in the dark, for me, was enough
Pa-li, ta-la-ta
I am just a ghost
I am just a ghost
Tu-li, lu-pa-la
I'm cheering you on from the sidelines
Forget about remembering our days
I'm still in love with you
Still in love with you
[Pre-Chorus]
I reached out to your left hand
It went right through
Your ball joint fingers
Maybe around my eyes
It was a little bit damp

[Chorus]
Tu-li, lu-pa-la
I'm sorry I left
If I get another chance
I would never give up the life that was dearest to you
I was dearest to you

[Bridge]
Wake me from your cast
Sand off our crooked seams
You're my half
I'm your half
Polished resin skin
You were right
The ones who gravitate towards self-sacrifice
Are the most
Are the most selfish ghosts

[Chorus]
Ah, lu-pa-la-ta, lu-la-li-la
Does it hurt to reopen wounds of the past?
Pa-li, ta-la-ta
I am half a ghost
I am half a ghost
Tu-li, lu-pa-la
Who were you to me?
Should I try to label this fuzzy feeling?
All I really know is I'm in love with you, you
Looking at my doppelgänger, I feared
That the day you're free of me may never be near
So I'll make sure it'd be a long time before I'm with you
I'll be your guardian, boo!
