The arena crowds my thoughts,
A thousand messages, a thousand stars,
but all I can feel is you.
You taught me how to breathe,
But now I can’t sing.
Lead into Chorus:
Water’s in my lungs,
Quickly filling up,
And I just miss the taste of air.
Chorus:
You’re all that I can see,
But there’s a galaxy out there,
And I just want to see the light.
I don’t know how to separate
From this love gone sour, this heart beat dissipating.
I miss someone who isn’t here,
a stranger in the bar who drinks my bittersweet air.
Some say I should seek a fortune teller,
someone who can cure my slumbers.
I just miss the taste of dreams.
Take me back to sleep.
Water’s in my lungs,
Quickly filling up.
And I just miss the taste of air.
You’re all that I can see,
But there’s a galaxy out there,
And I just want to see the light.
I don’t know how to separate
From this love gone sour, this heart beat dissipating.
I miss someone who isn’t here,
a stranger in the bar who drinks my bittersweet air.
I’m blind and lost in a crowded room,
But you can see straight through.
You’re the only ghost I’ve ever met,
And now all I want is to forget.
Go, go, go go away ghost.
Won’t you, go go, go go away ghost
Won’t you, go go, go go away ghost
Please go go, go go away ghost?
One person sings chorus as another sings “ghost” lines. Intensity builds.
Then, quietly:
Go, go, go go away ghost.
Won’t you go haunt somebody else?
This is a song about feeling haunted by a relationship. You feel like the person you dated turned out to be a stranger, a ghost. You never really knew them. You thought that you did, but you didn't. The person you miss doesn't exist anymore. You've moved on for the most part, but there's still a part of you that can't let go of it.
