Ghost - Demo Version

there's a letter on the desktop
 that i dug out of a drawer
 the last truce we ever came to
 in our adolescent war
 and i start to feel the fever
 from the warm air through the screen
 you come regular like seasons
 shadowing my dreams
 ♪
 and the mississippi's mighty
 but it starts in minnesota
 at a place that you could walk across
 with five steps down
 and i guess that's how you started
 like a pinprick to my heart
 but at this point you rush right through me
 and i start to drown
 and there's not enough room
 in this world for my pain
 signals cross and love gets lost
 and time passed makes it plain
 of all my demon spirits
 i need you the most
 i'm in love with your ghost
 i'm in love with your ghost
 dark and dangerous like a secret
 that gets whispered in a hush
 (don't tell a soul)
 when i wake the things i dreamt about you
 last night make me blush
 (don't tell a soul)
 and you kiss me like a lover
 then you sting me like a viper
 i go follow to the river
 play your memory like a piper
 and i feel it like a sickness
 how this love is killing me
 i'd walk into the fingers
 of your fire willingly
 and dance the edge of sanity
 i've never been this close
 i'm in love with your ghost
 ♪
 unknowing captor
 you never know how much you
 pierce my spirit
 but i can't touch you
 can you hear it
 a cry to be free
 oh i'm forever under lock and key
 as you pass through me
 now i see your face before me
 i would launch a thousand ships
 to bring your heart back to my island
 as the sand beneath me slips
 as i burn up in your presence
 and i know now how it feels
 to be weakened like achilles
 with you always at my heels
 this bitter pill i swallow
 is the silence that i keep
 it poisons me i can't swim free
 the river is too deep
 though i'm baptized by your touch
 i am no worse than most
 in love with your ghost
 you are shadowing my dreams
 (in love with your ghost)
 (in love with your ghost)
 (in love with your ghost)
