Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got 16 days, one for every time I've gone away
One for every time I shoulda stayed
You shoulda wore my weddin' ring
I got 16 days, 15 of those are nights
Can't sleep when the bed sheet fights
It's way back to your side
[Verse 2]
Well, ghost has got me runnin'
(Ghost has got me runnin')
Ghost has got me runnin'
(The ghost has got me runnin')
Away from you, away from you, away from you
[Verse 3]
Well, ghost has got me runnin'
(Ghost has got me runnin')
Well, ghost has got me runnin'
(The ghost has got me runnin')
Away from you, away from you, away from you
[Verse 4]
Got 16 days
Got a Bible and a rosary
God, I wish that you were close to me
Guess I owe you an apology
[Verse 5]
Got 16 days
15 of those are nights
Can't sleep when the bed sheets fights
It's way back to your side
[Verse 6]
Well, ghost has got me runnin'
(Ghost has got me runnin')
Well, the ghost has got me runnin'
(The ghost has got me runnin')
Away from you, away from you, away from you
[Verse 7]
Well, ghost has got me runnin'
(Ghost has got me runnin')
Ghost has got me runnin'
(The ghost has got me runnin')
Away from you, away from you, away from you
[Verse 8]
Old tin cups, little paper dolls
All wrapped up in ribbons bowed with hearts
Old tin cups, and little paper dolls
All wrapped up in the ribbons of your heart
[Verse 9]
I got 16 days, 16 days
I got 16 days
It's like before I hang
