Ghost

Took a breath of nicotine Standing outside your mother's dream house Your father built when you were thirteen We laid upon that roof Watching stars do what they do Cover up that midwestern sky You told me about your dreams All the places you like to be Somewhere out west by the beach Told you I'd go not to break your heart Truth is I can't get too far from this place Where I lay all of the time Where I lay all of the time I still wanna love you I still wanna touch you I know that you're a ghost I still wanna miss you I still wanna kiss you But that ain't the way this goes But if your dreams ever die You wind up all alone Get back home Threw your arms around my neck You wished me all the best As you got into that loaded car My shoulder, your father's hands Who would have thought I'd never see them again I guess everyone goes away in the end I walked home past that park Where we'd talk till dark On those rusted, broken swings Hope your life turned out good Got everything you wished you would And I'll stay right here and dream of it Oh, I'll stay and dream of it I still wanna love you I still wanna touch you I know that you're a ghost I still wanna miss you I still wanna kiss you Well that ain't the way this goes But if your dreams ever die You wind up all alone Get back home Get back home
