lyrics

She said “You’re a real Romeo aren’t you babe?” I said “maybe that’s true. I just wanted to see the sunrise darling through your eyes so I could see me staring back at you. But it’s never that easy, everybody’s got a ghost that they will hold on to and I guess I just wanted my ghost to be you. I could stay up all night just to watch you breathe” She said, “darling it’s alright, look maybe you should leave”. So I kissed her on the porch and wandered home alone. In the light of the morning sun I thought I’d found someone but she did not come through. Oh I, I wanted ‘someone’ to be you. I see her dance across the room, I see her face up in the moon. I see her standing at the bar, I see her face up past the stars. I see her shadow on the stairs but when I turn she’s not there. No she’s not there. So you sit on the porch because she wanted to talk and the whole wide world is sleeping. She could get better if her heart would let her, you got doubts about what she’s been keeping. She is burning a whole inside you, oh she does what those pretty girls do. So you let her know that the darkness she keeps is just like the darkness in you but her hands are shaking as her heart is breaking and deep down she knows that it’s true. She is burning a whole inside you, oh she does what those pretty girls do. She said “you’re a real Romeo aren’t you babe?” I said “oh honey I’m not sure. I just wanted to be that ‘someone’ I thought I could be that ‘someone’ that you’ve been waiting for.” But it ain’t ever that easy because everyone’s got a ghost that they will hold on to and I, oh I wanted my ghost to be you. Oh I, I wanted my ghost to be you.
