A Ghost

Line by line we drew it up Had our fill and threw it up Wrote the will and tore it up And I can't even say why All my past is shoring up Beating on my door won't stop Couldn't lie so I made it up And I can't even say why, I can't even say why And I wonder as I walk away Did I ever love it all the way? Did I open up my heart and say it like I mean it? From the end right to the start, from seeing to believing Oh, but I saw a ghost In the mirror coming near A little close for comfort tonight Ooh, he said, "It's easier to be alive Than hide under your pillow while Your life is passing you by" One by one they carry us Break our hearts and marry us Dig us up then bury us And I wish I could say why All my past is sure enough Beating on my door has stopped Couldn't lie so I make it up And I don't even know why, I don't even know why And I wonder as I walk away Did I ever love it all the way? Did I open up my heart and say it like I mean it? From the end right to the start, from seeing to believing Oh, but I saw a ghost In the mirror coming near A little close for comfort tonight Ooh, he said, "It's easier to be alive Than hide under your pillow while Your life is passing you by" So live your life Don't waste your time Ooh, live your life Don't waste your time I saw a ghost in the mirror coming nearer I saw a ghost in the mirror, in the mirror Oh, I saw a ghost In the mirror coming near A little close for comfort tonight Ooh, he said "It's easier to be alive Than hide under your pillow while Your life is passing you by" So live your life
