Album: 20,000 Ghosts

i am a boat on the shore,
but no wave is coming
to take me home.

i am a sun with no leaves
to shower with light and to feed.

i am a will with no one
to bequeath my love, all my love.

i feel like some sort of ghost.
but take it from me
you don't want to be a ghost.
because we need all our skin and our bones.

i feel like my heart has stopped beating,
and there's nothing carrying my blood.
oh, i wish i could take all these things
i've been thinking and hammer
them all to your door.

oh, i wish i could.
but watch out, watch out
i'm wondering if maybe it's not too late.

i feel like some sort of ghost.
but take it from me
you don't want to be a ghost.
because we need all our skin and our bones.
