Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Ghost
- (:4)
- You say I'm a ghost
- Moving in and out of your life never giving you any time to actually cope
- Say I hold you by the throat
- But darling I always have to go
- (:16)
- I remember you wearing your blue dress
- Bout three years ago
- I was nothing more than a little boy living in big world
- Unable to ever admit the painted picture before my eyes
- So we cut off all those ties but I remember back then I wasn't a ghost
- I was just another perfect track record you could destroy
- But that was just years ago
- Now I remember all the stories we told over smokes
- Accompanied by an acoustic guitar, sometimes we told jokes
- Sometimes it was a saxophone while we listened into the other folks
- I felt my ankle bones were about to break
- When I was standing next to you by the lake
- By your side, back then this is what all I would pray for
- Now It's a little more complicated than that
- I can still laugh at that fact that our friendship seemed to be obligated
- But don't think I haven't contemplated us
- Even if I told you a half lie
- That I only wanted to be friends
- But to the end, my heart still wants to try again
- It's why you're here, no?
- Yet I can't hear a thing when your whisper sounds like whiskey speak
- We're sixteen feet away from an embrace that's three years too late
- Now I'm too afraid we might get so close we're never be far apart enough to separate
- But you say 'it's okay'
- (1:27)
- So we'll have a drink
- Close our eyes and let it all sink
- (1:40)
- My only hope is this night to never end
- It's my only wish as I fully succumb to your subtle kiss
- The taste in your lips drive me mad
- We trace our fingertips through our skin like we're trapped
- We don't take it fast, take our time finding out our lock
- Our warm embrace to fall in love isn't a shot
- But for tonight we give it all we got
- Wondering if we're both strong enough or what's wrong with us
- Pretty much it's just us talking of our thoughts for once
- Then the morning rush, I wake up with you on the make up
- Leave it to lady luck, the moment's gone
- You're right I guess, I am a ghost
- Leave and make not a sound
- You won't see me around
- I'll be inside my mind now, maybe having another round
- Won't be around for the moment
- I crush your heart and leave you in disappointment
- I can't fall in love
- Not with you, not right now
- You should've have known it
- That this was just a timely notice
- (3:20)
- But I still remember the night I fell in your hands
- Your angel blue eyes, a pretty sad sky
- Hand to hand under a silent night
- On a balcony surrounded by the fright
- And your blue dress having me blinded by the bright
- Saying words I didn't understand, words that set me to be your ghost
- (Ends 3:36)
