There's a ghost in our house It's watching me, watching you It sees everything we are The secrets we've hidden from view It's not death we fear, it's mediocrity Not dying, but fading away It's the will to do more than just exist It's the chance we missed, it's the chance we missed There's a ghost in our house There's a ghost in our house, ha There's a ghost in our house It's watching us through the years It collects our regrets, yeah Makes souvenirs of our tears It's not change we fear, it's standing still Turning to face the wall It's holding onto nothing with a tight clenched fist It's the chance we missed, it's the chance we missed There's a ghost in our house There's a ghost in our house Close the nursery door very softly Someone's at the window Hide your dreams and your deepest yearning Someone's at the window It's not death we fear, it's life unlived Stars unwilling to shine Upstaged by the brilliance of fate's last twist It's the chance we missed, it's the chance we missed There's a ghost in our house There's a ghost in our house There's a ghost in our house There's a ghost in our house
