Lyrics:
The story of us, is it already told?\\nLet's tear the book apart, start to rewrite it all\\nWe're already gone but still in this together\\nLike a dragon to his gold we're still holding on\\n\nOur life won't wait for us to live\\nWe don't need a lifetime to figure out what we miss\\nThe love we get is the love we give\\nA money chest full of love but we hid the key\\n\nThis is the ghost of you\\nHaunting the ghost of me\\nWe're lonely in a crowded room together\\nTell me who's scared now\\n\nThis is the ghost of you\\nHaunting the ghost of me\\nWe're playing house in these walls forever\\nTell me who's scared now\\n\nCan't we get an alternate ending?\\nCan't we get an alternate ending? Oh…\\n\nSomehow we will change everything that we touch\\nBut we held on too tight and changed it too much\\nWe sweep up this love, put the pieces back together\\nAnd if we find them all can we bring this to life?\\n\nOur life won't wait for us to live\\nWe don't need a lifetime to figure out what we miss\\nThe love we get is the love we give\\nA money chest full of love but we hid the key\\n\nThis is the ghost of you\\nHaunting the ghost of me\\nWe're lonely in a crowded room together\\nTell me who's scared now\\n\nThis is the ghost of you\\nHaunting the ghost of me\\nWe're playing house in these walls forever\\nTell me who's scared now\\n\nCan't we get an alternate ending?\\nCan't we get an alternate ending? Oh…\\nCan't we get an alternate ending?\\nCan't we get an alternate ending? Oh…\\n\nThis is the ghost of you\\nHaunting the ghost of me\\nWe're lonely in a crowded room together\\nTell me who's scared now\\n\nThis is the ghost of you\\nHaunting the ghost of me\\nWe're playing house in these walls forever\\nTell me who's scared now\\n\nThis is the ghost of you (Ah…)\\nHaunting the ghost of me\\nWe're lonely in a crowded room together\\nTell me who's scared now\\n\nThis is the ghost of you (Tell me who's scared now)\\nHaunting the ghost of me\\nWe're playing house in these walls forever\\nTell me who's scared now
Germany participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song "Ghost" written by Thomas Burchia, Anna Leyne and Conrad Hensel. The song was performed by Jamie-Lee. The German entry for the 2016 contest in Stockholm, Sweden was selected through the national final Unser Lied für Stockholm, organised by the German broadcaster ARD in collaboration with Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR). The national final took place on 25 February 2016 and featured ten competing acts with the winner being selected through two rounds of public voting. "Ghost" performed by Jamie-Lee Kriewitz was selected as the German entry for Stockholm after placing first in the top three during the first round of voting and ultimately gaining 44.5% of the vote in the second round. ARD and NDR had initially announced on 19 November 2015 that they had selected the soul and R&B singer-songwriter Xavier Naidoo to represent Germany in Stockholm. A song selection entitled Unser Song für Xavier was planned to be held in February 2016 and would have featured six songs performed by Naidoo with the winning song being selected via public televote. However, following the announcement that Naidoo had been selected to represent Germany, there was public and media backlash in regards to the choice. Naidoo was seen as unfit to represent Germany due to political, homophobic and racial statements the performer had made throughout his career. Two days following the broadcaster's announcement of Naidoo's selection, NDR reneged on their agreement and withdrew the performer as the German representative. ARD and NDR later announced that the German entry would be selected through a national final with the public determining the winner. As a member of the "Big 5", Germany automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing in position 10, Germany placed twenty-sixth (last) out of the 26 participating countries with 11 points.
Overall Final Postion: 26
