I’ve been hearing feelings
Knocking at my door
Recklessly I let them in
I let them in
This is not the best place to find love
In the ghosts of a girl I once knew
They keep me up all night,
Singing a tune about you
It went something like

She’s a girl that’s both the sun and the moon
She’ll never let you see the darkness without the light coming soon
Who would have thought I could love my best friend?
But she drove recklessly into my heart, same way she drives her car, one hand on the wheel, the other on her knee - forgetting to watch her speed
Her blue eyes, shine like the moon
Her heart warm like the sun
Holding tight onto something I didn’t know I would lose so soon

When I’m with you, I have a friend
And suddenly the haunting comes to an end
No longer stuck indoors
Between these haunted walls
You must think I’m drunk when I mumble the words you’re so beautiful
But you don’t let anything scare you the way I do

When you lay that beautiful head of yours down at night
Do your thoughts try to drown you and does your chest get tight?
One minute you’re here, and the next you’re fading. The things I’d do to stop all your aching.
Something doesn’t feel right, maybe it’s because I keep waiting
Waiting for these feelings to bring you back
I wish I could bring you back here, for one more night,
maybe these nightmares of losing someone like you would stop.

This is not the best place to find love
In the ghosts of a girl I once knew
They keep me up all night,
Singing a tune about you
It went something like

She’s a girl that’s both the sun and the moon
She’ll never let you see the darkness without the light coming soon
Who would have thought I could love my best friend?
It was the way she made me laugh through the depression
Not letting me feel alone
She made my thoughts go silent when she was around

When I’m with you, I have a friend
And suddenly the haunting comes to an end
No longer stuck indoors
Between these haunted walls
You must think I’m drunk when I mumble the words you’re so beautiful
But you don’t let anything scare you the way I do

I feel battered
Sleeping till noon
I thought it was the ***** but I’ve been missing you
And that haunts me every night
Will you hold me tight
Maybe I’ll get some sleep tonight
I keep trying to close my eyes but the ghosts over shadow me, and life after you keeps my thoughts racing and my chest tight

You crashed your car into my heart
But I was drunk and I let the devil in
I let her ******* win
I recklessly let her win
When I let those feelings in
I should have never opened the door

This is not the best place to find love
In the ghosts of a girl I once knew
They keep me up all night,
Singing a tune about you
It went something like

She’s a girl that’s both the sun and the moon
She’ll never let you see the darkness without the light coming soon
Who would have thought I could love my best friend?

When I’m with you, I have a friend
And suddenly the haunting comes to an end
No longer stuck indoors
Between these haunted walls
You must think I’m drunk when I mumble the words you’re so beautiful
But you don’t let anything scare you the way I do

Now everything reminds me of you
ghosts
Blue eyes
The moon
Who could have thought I could love my best friend?
Now I’m drunk, sleeping till noon, devil by my side, wishing it was you.
Come back, take my hand, and I’ll put the bottle down
I’m knocking
Please let me in
