Ghost

Silent like a ghost, don't wanna be seen, I run
Like a boy near fire, dripping with gasoline
And the sun dropped behind your house as I pushed through the gate
And quickly up the thin staircase
Like I was running late

Nothing looked like it was different, you were smiling, it was bright
So much so I could imagine nothing changed and you were alright
While I wanted to believe it, I was holding you so tight

In and out of time, I feel it beating, the sun
April's brief relief, relief is fleeting
It hurts to watch you fade this way
I'm moving to acceptance day
Lost in the fresh bouquets

We were walking down your lane, by a park we went when I was eight
It took two or three times long,
The cars were lost within the birdsong
And I'll remember all the best
Parts and I'll hold them within my chest
Like the words of a song echo on and on

Nothing looked like it was different, you were smiling, it was bright
So much so I could imagine it was June and you were alright
While I wanted to believe it,
Sat up knowing on the night you had to go
You had to go, you had to go

Nothing looked like it was different, you were smiling, it was bright
So much so I could imagine it was June and you were alright
While I wanted to believe it, sat up knowing on the night
