Ghost -

I’ve been in waiting for so long

Playing with fire far too frequently

Hoping the flames would keep me strong

Burning my bridges to the third degree

I’ve been in hiding for so long

Trying to preserve my authenticity

Keeping my guards up when I know it’s wrong

Building a cage for my security

On it goes, nature drags me into the throes

But I’m not ready for love, the dance is scary enough

You can approach, but I’m too quick on my toes

Right foot back in retreat, never calling defeat

Going back

My memory serves me well

Hiding ‘round corners, waiting for the perfect parallel

Going back

Wish I could seal it for real

But I know I’m not a closer, it was too soon to make a deal

Ghost

It’s a shame, don’t you think

That we could end up like this?

Ghost, nature drags me into the throes

But I’m not ready for love, the dance is scary enough

You can approach, but I’m too quick on my toes

Right foot back in retreat, never calling defeat

Going back

My memory serves me well

Hiding ‘round corners, waiting for the perfect parallel

Going back

Wish I could seal it for real

But I know I’m not a closer, it was too soon to make a deal

It’s a shame, don’t you think

That we could end up like this
