Ghost is an incredibly important song for me. I feel like a bad part of me died when I wrote it.
lyrics
Guess she'd like to be alone,
to find a place she can call her home.
She's crawling out of her mind.
Guess she'd like to run away,
to find a better kind of day.
She hasn't had a good one in a while.
She's been proving herself by walking on egg shells,
the way she's living.
Stumbling fears and battling years
the way
she's dying, she's dying,
she's in hiding, nothing but hiding, she's
a ghost.
But no one can hear her call
that she's
Guess she'd like to crash and burn to raise a bit of her concern.
She's drowning in her smile.
Guess she'd like to know a face,
to wash the shame out of her disgrace.
She's walking among strangers now.
She's been proving herself by walking on egg shells,
the way she's living.
Stumbling fears and battling tears
the way
she's dying, she's dying,
she's in hiding, nothing but hiding, she's
a ghost.
But no one can hear her call
that she's
She's
she's gonna figure it out.
She's quiet now.
She never made a sound,
never made a sound.
She's been proving herself by walking on egg shells,
the way she's living.
Stumbling fears and battling tears
the way
she's dying, she's dying,
she's in hiding, nothing but hiding, she's
a ghost.
But no one can hear her call
that she's
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
