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
