Cover art for Halloween lyrics by Gaslight Anthem, The

I think this song is about a guy who is at a party, probably for business and he sees a girl who looks vaguely like a girl he loved and lost. He is the ghost in a suit, everyone at the party is because they are just images of what they really are. A ghost in that they are not full people, they can't be at a business party.

Further, after a drink or two and seeing this girl, he spends the rest of the party trying to "find his love" even though she isn't there and likely isn't coming back anyway
