Ghost Story
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe I'm just a ghost
Disappear when anybody's close
Go through you when you try to hold
Try to hold me near
Maybe I'm just a ghost
Emptier than anybody knows
Maybe I'm on the ropes
Or I'm not even here
Yeah
Every time I try to walk through walls
More walls appear
What's the point in feeling love for you
When you don't believe I'm here?
What's the point in trying to raise your voice
If no one ever hears?
Every time I try to pull you close
You disappear
Maybe I'm a ghost
Just a whisper in a puff of smoke
A secret that nobody knows
No one will ever hear
Or maybe I'm a ghost
Spectre on a rollercoaster
A thorn without a rose
Just something people fear
Yeah
And every time I thought I'd walk through walls
It's all becoming clear
What's the point in feeling love for you
When you don't believe I'm here?
What's the point in saying 'rescue me'
If no one ever hears?
Every time I try to pull you close
You disappear
Every time I try to pull you close
You disappear
And every time I thought I'd walk through walls
It's all becoming clear
Every time I try to pull you close
You disappear
Every time I try to pull you close
You disappear
