Lyrics

Ghosts

Felt a bit stand-offish, as she began to pull me close.
Felt my hands start to tremble, I thought: "I ain't afraid of no ghosts."
And her hair smells like flowers, blowing along the coast.
I should be enjoying this, but I'm haunted by your ghost.

Ghosts - you can't love'em,
They're impossible to touch.
But, the feelings that they instill in me,
Are touching me too much.
Too much for me to share,
Too much for me to cope.
Too much for me to get to know,
Too much for me to hope.

Now, how do you still haunt me? With shadows etched upon my mind?
Ghosts - more like feelings, stories once upon a time.
That's why I sing this song to you, cause healing comes with words.
I'm hoping that you understand, I'm hoping my ghosts have heard.

Ghosts - you can't love'em,
They're impossible to touch.
But, the feelings that they instill in me,
Keep touching me too much.

So get back in your closets, yeah, hide yourself upstairs,
I don't mind the squeaking boards, I can stand the occasional scares.
It's hard to handle something I can't touch: out of reach - not out of mind.
And anything this cloudy, is bound to block out a little sunshine.

Ghosts - you can't love'em,
They're impossible to touch.
But, the feelings that they instill in me,
Are touching me too much.
Too much for me to share,
Too much for me to cope.
Too much for me to get to know,
Too much for me to hope.
