Ghostie

I am

I am more than you see

My confidence is buried deep beneath

It comes out once a week

(Or sometimes less)

I know

I know

I know what I said

Don't act like you didn't push me to the edge

We'll be back maybe

Actually, I'll only be gone for a few days

And then I'll be back with a new face

Maybe I made a mistake

Based on my skin, looks like I'm the snake

Who needs sleep when you can sing to your feet?

I've made a huge mistake or free at last, but either way

You won't forget those pictures, even if you burn the hard copies

You have a million names and one of them explains it all to me

Why do you think I call you 'Ghostie'?

Mostly because you're impossible to see

The sun leaks down to a spot on this block

Where we met in the winter wearing two pairs of socks

The cold was forgotten

I saw your smile open

Fell in love

And then out

There's no doubt

You're still a spider

And a liar

You've taken everything

You're still a spider

And a liar

You've taken everything

I've made a huge mistake or free at last, but either way

You won't forget those pictures, even if you burn the hard copies

You have a million names, and one of them explains it all to me

Why do you think I call you 'Ghostie'?

Why do you think I call you 'Ghostie'?

Why do you think I call you... anything

Maybe you've made a huge mistake

Or free at last back in PA

You won't forget those pictures

I'll bet you a million dollars

We've made a huge mistake

Or free at last

We'll find out in a few days, a few days, a few days

Singing hope is just this thing that holds us down (down)

Singing hope is just this thing that holds us down (down)

Hope is just this thing that holds us down (down...)
