Take If From Me

(Album: 20,000 Ghosts - 2009)

I am a boat on the shore,
But no wave is coming
To take me home.

I am a sun with no leaves
To shower with light and to feed.

I am a will with no one
To bequeath my love, all my love.

I feel like some sort of ghost.
But take it from me
You don't want to be a ghost.
Because we need all our skin and our bones.

I feel like my heart has stopped beating,
And there's nothing carrying my blood.
Oh, I wish I could take all these things
I've been thinking and hammer
Them all to your door.

Oh, I wish I could.
But watch out, watch out
I'm wondering if maybe it's not too late.

I feel like some sort of ghost.
But take it from me
You don't want to be a ghost.
Because we need all our skin and our bones.
