Ghost Lyrics

Took a breath of nicotine Standing outside your mother's dream house

Your father built when you were thirteen We laid upon that roof

Watching stars do what they do Cover up that midwestern sky

You told me about your dreams All the places you like to be

Somewhere out west by the beach Told you I'd go not to break your heart

Truth is I can't get too far from this place Where I lay all of the time Where I lay all of the time

I still wanna love you I still wanna touch you

I know that you're a ghost

I still wanna miss you I still wanna kiss you

But that ain't the way this goes But if your dreams ever die

You wind up all alone Get back home

Threw your arms around my neck You wished me all the best

As you got into that loaded car My shoulder, your father's hands

Who would have thought I'd never see them again

I guess everyone goes away in the end

I walked home past that park Where we'd talk till dark

On those rusted, broken swings Hope your life turned out good

Got everything you wished you would And I'll stay right here and dream of it

Oh, I'll stay and dream of it

I still wanna love you I still wanna touch you

I know that you're a ghost

I still wanna miss you I still wanna kiss you

Well that ain't the way this goes But if your dreams ever die

You wind up all alone Get back home

Get back home
