Ghost

(album: Phoenix - 2017)

Tell me
When the time has come
And no one's left to save me
Is there any chance

I know I might be wrong
Not enough to doubt
That the one thing I pursue and
What I'm all about
Are like a cage for me
One that I create
Still unlocked but can I realize
Before it's too late

But if suddenly
You were standing right in front of me
I could barely hope and dare to say
That you're the reason why
I'm on my own now

Tell me
When the time has come
And no one's left to save me
Can we leave it all behind
And start again
Can we start again

Let me think again
Take a second glance
Can I really dare to hope there is
A second chance
To give up on it
Leave that hate behind
And eventually get to smile again
When you're on my mind

And now finally
You are standing right in front of me
Liberation when I came to see
I may be on my own
But I don't hate you

And when the time comes
I'll greet you as a friend
Let go of all the stories
I thought would never end
The time comes
What I know to be true
All along I've been waiting for you

All that I want
To move on beyond
And I know that I was wrong
So tell me
Can we leave it all behind
And start again
