Ghosts appear and fade away Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear I can't get to sleep I think about the implications Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications Especially at night I know will be alright

Lover, please do not Fall to your knees Like I believe in Everlasting love Over ghosts All the ghosts that broke my heart He walked down a busy street Staring solely at his feet

Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun And the days blur into one And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline Like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass Was never much but we made the most

You don't know the hell that's coming Everybody get on the ground We are the override We are the override oh oh The ghosts have killed enough Familiar haunts have had enough Too much thought will give you doubt And now they found you

We both know we ain't kids no more We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts Send my love to your new lover Treat her better I'm giving you up I've forgiven it all You set me free, oh If you're ready, if you're ready If you're ready, if you're ready (Send

Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun And the days blur into one And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline Like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass Was never much but we made the most

Beneath the curse of these lovers eyes But do not ask the price I pay I must live with my quiet rage Tame the ghosts in my head That run wild and wish me dead Should you shake my ash to the wind Lord forget all of my sins And let me die where I lie I

Now those days are over And we are all ghosts We used to sleep all day and talk all night Stay up by the TV light (oh, oh) When your baby teeth ain't milky white Wipe the stardust from your eyes (oh, oh) I said "oh come on love, we'll be just fine

Beneath the curse of these lovers eyes But do not ask the price I pay I must live with my quiet rage Tame the ghosts in my head That run wild and wish me dead Should you shake my ash to the wind Lord forget all of my sins And let me die where I lie I
