Gorgeous song. Haunting in all respects…
Howie Day – Ghost
Lately I’ve been thinking
Lately I’ve been dreaming with you.
I’m so resistant to this type of thinking
Oh, now it’s shining through.
I was alone for the last time
before my night’s vacation with you.
Alive from the first,
Now, I’m denied by the ghost of you.
You take yourself a photograph and laugh at me, please.
I know there’s little use in crying
It’s my wide awake and dying that I’m used to.
I thought we’d walk these streets together,
And now I’m hoping that I’ll never have to meet you.
Step aside from all this anger,
and somewhere in between I can feel you.
Ask me, “Should we try again?”
I’m thinking, “no, you know it’s not what I believe in.
It’s not what I believe in.”
Won’t you take yourself a photograph and laugh at me, please?
You make yourself a photograph and laugh at me, please…
No, I want taste you, love…
No, I just want taste you, love
Standing in your shoes,
I turn and now you’re standing bare in my doorway.
I only wish that I had been prepared,
I’m gonna have to go along with your way.
Just take the plastic camera out,
It’s the pants you borrowed in the driveway.
Alive from the first,
Now I’m denied by the ghost of you.
Make yourself a photgraph and laugh at me, please.
You make yourself a photograph and laugh at me, please.
No, I want a taste of love; No, I…
I was alive from the first,
Now I’m denied by the ghost of you.
