[Verse 1]
I'm stumblin' around the park just to think
I'm always startled when the ghost of things appear unwanted
The swans are gliding as the wind whips and stings
The sapphire in my signet ring
I know that's it's been a while since you came over
Let you drape your arm 'round my bad shoulder
When I trust you I'll crush my composure
Wanna tell you the truth, melt right into you
[Chorus]
Melt right into you
Let you be the glue
Melt right into you, you
[Verse 2]
Between the sheets of rhododendron and sky
I cast my mind across the day you said you'd always be there
I pushed a curl of hair away from your eye
And said, "It's sweet of you to lie"
I know that's it's been a while sincе you came over
It's hard to be unguardеd, I know I come across cold
Dropping out like a stone when I'm crumblin'
But I owe you the truth, wanna melt right into you
[Chorus]
Melt right into you
Let you be my glue
Melt right into you, you
[Bridge]
I'm so easily wounded
Glasses of pineapple juice out on the heath
My head in your lap
You offer me space, wild bees, and sweat
I'm scared if I tell you, you'll think of me as weak
I don't wanna be that friend who's always in pain
So I bottle it up, it hurts when I do it
We stare at the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna let you in, wanna let you help me
Wanna let you in, wanna have transparency
Wanna let you in, wanna tell you everythin', everythin'
[Chorus]
Melt right into you
Let you be the glue
Melt right into you
Let you be my glue
Melt right into you
Let you be my glue
Melt right into you, you
Ghost was written by Arlo Parks & Paul Epworth.
Ghost was produced by Arlo Parks.
Arlo Parks released Ghost on Fri May 26 2023.
This is the oldest song on the record, I demoed it in the winter of 2020 in my childhood bedroom. At the core of the song is a sense of embracing help, embracing human touch, learning not to suffer in solitude, learning to let people in.
