Ghost

[Verse 1]
There's a letter on the desktop
That I dug out of a drawer
The last truce we ever came to
From our adolescent war
And I start to feel the fever
From the warm air through the screen
You come regular like seasons
Shadowing my dreams

[Verse 2]
And the Mississippi's mighty
But it starts in Minnesota
At a place that you could walk across
With five steps down
And I guess that's how you started
Like a pinprick to my heart
But at this point you rush right through me
And I start to drown

[Chorus]
And there's not enough room in this world for my pain
Signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain
Of all my demon spirits I need you the most
I'm in love with your ghost
I'm in love with your ghost

[Verse 3]
Dark and dangerous like a secret (Don't tell a soul)
That gets whispered in a hush
When I wake the things I dreamt about you (Don't tell a soul)
Last night make me blush
Then you kissed me like a lover
Then you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river
Play your memory like the piper

[Chorus]
And I feel it like a sickness how this love is killing me
But I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly
And dance the edge of sanity I've never been this close
In love with your ghost

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh

[Bridge]
Unknowing captor
You'll never know how much you
Pierce my spirit
But I can't touch you
Can you hear it, a cry to be free?
Or I'm forever under lock and key
As you pass through me

[Verse 4]
Now I see your face before me
That would launch a thousand ships
To bring your heart back to my island
As the sand beneath me slips
As I burn up in your presence
And I know now how it feels
To be weakened like Achilles
With you always at my heels

[Chorus]
And my bitter pill to swallow is the silence that I keep
It poisons me, I can't swim free, the river is too deep
Though I'm baptized by your touch I am no worst at most
In love with your ghost
In love with your ghost (You are shadowing my dreams)

[Post-Chorus]
In love with your ghost (Ooh)
In love with your ghost (Ooh)
