My Ghost
She said “you’re a real Romeo aren’t you babe”
I said “maybe that’s true”
I just wanted to see the sunrise darling through your eyes
So I could see me staring back at you
But it’s never that easy
Everybody’s got a ghost that they will hold on to
And I guess I just wanted my ghost to be you
I could stay up all night just to watch you breath
She said, “darling it’s alright, look maybe you should leave”
So I wandered home alone
In the light of the morning sun I thought I’d found someone
But she did not come through
Oh I wanted ‘someone’ to be you
I see her dance across the room
I see her face up in the moon
I see her standing at the bar
I see her face up past the stars
I see her shadow on the stairs but when I turn she’s not there
No she’s not there
She said “you’re a real Romeo aren’t you babe”
I said “oh honey I’m not sure”
I just wanted to be that ‘someone’ I thought I could be that ‘someone’ that you were waiting for
But it isn’t ever that easy because everyone’s got a ghost that they will hold on to
And I, oh I wanted my ghost to be you
Oh I, I wanted my ghost to be you
