about

I couldn’t stop smiling in the early days
I was amazed how hard I could fall
Now I just stare at the wall
I don’t have you to talk to so I don’t talk at all

I wake up shouting in the middle night
Turn on the lights, see the curtain drift
It’s just the ghost of a kiss
My house ain’t haunted but honey my head is

So write on the steam in the mirror
Make all the doors open and close
And all the guys say:

Forget
Get over
But tonight I really really really don’t wanna
I’d rather stay up with your ghost
Than wake up all along in the sun
Because the songbirds only sing the blues
The mailman brings the bad news
And I fall

You think your heart’s broken I can see it’s not
You’ve built your stage, heard your curtain call
You just love to fall
You say you don’t sing man you hardly sang at all

So you can talk about me in my yellow dress
Tell me I’m blessed, picked out by some hand
You don’t understand
Sometimes you get lucky even with the worst laid plans

You can’t tell me not to haunt your corridors
When you won’t leave mine alone
And all the boys say:

Forget
Get over
But tonight I really really really don’t wanna
I’d rather stay up with your ghost
Than wake up alone in the sun
But just as the grass ain’t really that green
I ain’t the woman you day-dream me to be

Darkness come cover me, I’m lonesome
How am I supposed to forget your name?
When I keep singing these same sad songs

There’s nothing worth being we could ever be
St Anthony, shaking his head
It’s like you always said
If you don’t feel alive you might as well be dead

But there’s only one kind of lucky
It’s not the kind that never runs out
All my friends say

Forget
Get over
But tonight I really really really don’t wanna
I’d rather stay up with your ghost
Than wake up all alone in the sun
Because the songbirds only sing the blues
The mailman brings the bad news
And I fall
