Ghost Lyrics

I'd say goodbye if I wanted you to notice

But I'm like the summer that fades into fall

No sudden stops

No warnings

No writing on the wall

Gone like a dream

I am a ghost

Waiting to haunt you

I'll hold you close

'Til I disappear

I never meant to

Leave you behind

But I've a bad habit

Of dying sometimes

I'd like to close my eyes and stop time

From taking me toward the unknown

If I could love you for infinite hours I would

But I run, and I run, and I run from everything holding me down

And I don't look back, I just go until my ankles get sore

I will never be caught standing inside of a box too small for my soul

So I'll go

So I'll go

I am a song

Penned by a river

Rushing along

With no end in sight

I never meant to

Stick in your ear

I'll keep on singing

When nobody's here

I'd like to close my eyes and stop time

From taking me toward the unknown

If I could love you for infinite lifetimes I would

But I run, and I run, and I run from anything holding me down

And I don't look back I just go until my ankles get sore

I will never be caught standing inside of a box too small for my soul

So I'll go

So I'll go

I'm not happy alone

But I won't let you down

If you never expect me to stick around

I'd rather be reckless and let myself fall

Than put down my roots and fade until I'm nothing at all

I'd like to close my eyes and stop time

From taking me toward the unknown

If I could hold you 'til I turn to stardust I would

But I run, and I run, and I run from anything holding me down

And I don't look back, I just go until my ankles get sore

I will never be caught standing inside of a box too small for my soul

So I'll go

So I'll go

I am a ghost

Waiting to haunt you

I'll hold you close

'Til I disappear

I never meant to

Leave you behind

But I've a bad habit

Of dying sometimes
