Ghosts

There's a ghost in my bedroom, it haunts me at night I've asked him to leave but he keeps stopping by Just when I think that I'm alone It shows up again with a friend this time And now this is getting old I don't know what to do (don't know what to do) Metaphorically, this ghost is you Now this ghost in my bedroom it gives me advice He promised one day that he'd teach me to fight Now when I think that I'm alone He comes up my way with a devil's smile singing "This is now my home, you're my wish come true" "When you reach that golden cloud, I'll be there with you" If there were monsters in the closet Well, I don't think I would be surprised I hear 'em call out from my window They try and trick me to come outside (I won't let you down) We talked all day I can't tell if he's real or a made-up version of her again Never alone 'cause I've got you Get this out of my head No I won't waste away my love onto something new If there's only one way out, I'll come back for you If I get stuck out there forever Tell everyone that I said goodbye You're on my lifelong list of wishes And I could bring you back But we don't belong here now If he stays, well that just means I've got numbered days 'Til I go back to my little world Where it's just me and my imaginary friends So go on, love, find a new direction (Hold my heart, keep it for protection) And don't get stuck on your way The other side's a scary place Do your best not to be afraid Lose it all when we run away Letting go of the little things you know I do There's a ghost in my bedroom And he's dying to meet you God knows he's heard all about you I guess he's friendly enough though I'll see him more Always sneaking roses in your bed Says he won't let you down He will, he will, he will There's a ghost in my bedroom He will, he will, he will When the world is crashing down When the world is crashing down There's a ghost in my bedroom He will, he will, he will When the world is crashing down When the world is crashing down Softly, slowly, how can I go down? I want you to notice when I let go Softly, slowly how can I come down? I want you to notice when I let go There's a ghost in my bedroom
