Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Can you walk on the water if I, you and I?

'Cause your blood's running cold outside the familiar, true to life

Can you walk on the water if I, you and I?

Or keep your eyes on the road and live there familiar, without you and I

It glows with gates of gold, true to life

[Chorus]

And our love is a ghost that the others can't see

It's a danger

Every shade of us you fade down to keep

Them in the dark on who we are

Gonna be the death of me

It's a danger

'Cause our love is a ghost that the others can't see

[Verse 2]

We took a walk to the summit at night, you and I

To burn a hole in the old grip of the familiar, you and I

And the dark was opening wide, do or die

Under a mask of vermillion ruling eyes

[Bridge]

Eyes

[Chorus]

And our love is a ghost that the others can't see

It's a danger

Every shade of us you fade down to keep

Them in the dark on who we are

Gonna be the death of me

It's a danger

'Cause our love is a ghost that the others can't see
