Ghostie

(Album: Just Say Yes - 2008)

I am
I am more than you see
My confidence is buried deep beneath
It comes out once a week
(Or sometimes less)
I know
I know
I know what I said
Don't act like you didn't push me to the edge
We'll be back maybe

Actually, I'll only be gone for a few days
And then I'll be back with a new face
Maybe I made a mistake
Based on my skin, looks like I'm the snake

Who needs sleep when you can sing to your feet?

I've made a huge mistake or free at last, but either way
You won't forget those pictures, even if you burn the hard copies
You have a million names and one of them explains it all to me
Why do you think I call you 'Ghostie'?
Mostly because you're impossible to see

The sun leaks down to a spot on this block
Where we met in the winter wearing two pairs of socks
The cold was forgotten
I saw your smile open
Fell in love
And then out
There's no doubt
You're still a spider
And a liar
You've taken everything
You're still a spider
And a liar
You've taken everything

I've made a huge mistake or free at last, but either way
You won't forget those pictures, even if you burn the hard copies
You have a million names, and one of them explains it all to me
Why do you think I call you 'Ghostie'?
Why do you think I call you 'Ghostie'?
Why do you think I call you... anything

Maybe you've made a huge mistake
Or free at last back in PA
You won't forget those pictures
I'll bet you a million dollars
We've made a huge mistake
Or free at last
We'll find out in a few days, a few days, a few days
Singing hope is just this thing that holds us down (down)
Singing hope is just this thing that holds us down (down)

Hope is just this thing that holds us down (down...)
