Press you in the pages of a hardcover book To dry like flowers and weeds Peel your petals off and slowly pull them apart To wrap in my bed sheets To take you with me while I drift off to sleep And assemble you inside of my dreams On a soiled mattress, we drift to the attic Where the dust collects on your long eyelashes ♪ They say open up the window And stand in the sunshine But you hide in the shadows 'Cause the light goes right through you You're a ghost, you're a ghost You're a ghost, you're a ghost of my mind You're a ghost, you're a ghost You're a ghost, you're a ghost of my mind We hide in the places where mice make their holes Our skin getting cold under moth-eaten clothes I feel my lips turn blue, I'd do anything To be held by you through the night The doors are all closed, we peer through key holes Tucked away in a place where flowers can't grow Your skin turns to dust in my hands And I'm left holding onto a pile of sand They say open up the window And stand in the sunshine But you hide in the shadows 'Cause the light goes right through you You're a ghost, you're a ghost You're a ghost, you're a ghost of my mind You're a ghost, you're a ghost You're a ghost, you're a ghost of my mind And they say open up the window And stand in the sunshine But you stay in the shadows 'Cause the light goes right through you You're a ghost, you're a ghost You're a ghost, you're a ghost You're a ghost
