Two Ghosts is a song by Harry Styles which appears as the fourth track from his debut album Harry Styles. It serves as the second single from the album.

Background and release

The song was announced as the second single from the album on July 6, 2017. It was released on August 8, 2017.

Critical Reception

Variety writer Eve Barlow stated: "Apparently Nicholas Sparks’ novels inspired much of the songwriting on this debut, and it’s very easy to imagine an extended hyper emotional scene from “The Notebook” in the background while listening to Styles unwind this tragic, mystifying tale." [1]

Commercial Performance

The song peaked at #58 and #66 on the UK Singles chart and the Irish singles chart.


Music Video

A live in studio version of Two Ghosts was released on Harry's VEVO account on August 31, 2017. The performance is a part of Styles's documentary. No official music video was released for the single, leading to believe that the live performance serves as the music video.



Lyrics

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
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
