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

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

Singin', "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 somethin' 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

Till 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 (Ah) 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 (There's a ghost in my bedroom, ah)

Always sneaking roses in your bed

Says he won't let you down

But he will, he will, he will

(There's a ghost in my bedroom, ah)

(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, ah)

(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, ah)

Slowly, how can I come down?

I want you to notice when I let go

(There's a ghost in my bedroom, ah)

Slowly, how can I come down?

I want you to notice when I let go

(There's a ghost in my bedroom, ah)
