A poignant reminder of the importance of human connection in overcoming the difficulties of life, and the need to reach out to others in times of emotional distress.
[Verse 1]
You were waiting for an answer
It was the hardest thing to hear
So strung out eclipsed by shivers
Molleycoddled and sincere
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a lonely life, a long and lonely life
Stay with me and
Be a ghost tonight, be a ghost tonight
[Chorus]
But don't you be so cold
[Verse 2]
You were waiting for elation
Like it would fall out of the sky
Maybe time's the greatest healer
But baby everything will die
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a lonely life, a long and lonely life
Stay with me and
Be a ghost tonight, be a ghost tonight
[Chorus]
But don't you be so cold
Don't you be so cold
Don't you be so cold
Don't you be so cold
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a lonely life, a long and lonely life
Stay with me and
Be a ghost tonight, be a ghost tonight
[Chorus]
But don't you be so cold
Don't you be so cold
Don't you be so cold
Don't you be so cold
Don't you be so cold
Don't you be so cold
Don't you be so cold
