Ghosts

Mayday Parade

There's a ghost in my bedroom 
It haunts me at night 
I've asked him to leave but he keeps stopping by 
Just when I think that I'm alone 
It shows up again with a friend this time and now this is getting old 
Don't know what to do 
(Don't know what to do) 
Metaphorically, this ghost is you 

Now this ghost in my bedroom it gives me advice 
He promised one day that he'd teach me to fly 
Now that I think that I'm alone 
He comes my way with a Devil's smile 
Singing, This is now my home 
You're my wish come true 
When you reach that golden cloud, I'll be there with you 

If there were monsters in the closet, 
Well, I don't think I would be surprised 
I hear him call out from my window 
They try and trick me to come outside 
(I won't let you down) 
We talked all day 
I can't tell if he's real or a made up version of her again 
Never alone 'cause I've got you 
Get this out of my head 

No, I won't waste away my life 
On to something new 
If there's only one way out, I'll come back for you 

If I get stuck out there forever, 
Tell everyone that I said goodbye 
My life a list of wishes that I could bring you back 
But we don't belong here, now 

If he stays, well that just means I've got numbered days 
'Til I go back to my little world where it's just me and my imaginary 
Friends 

So go out, love, find a new direction 
And hold my heart keep your full protection 
Don't get stuck on your way 
The other side's a scary place 
Do your best not to be afraid 
Lose it all when we run away 
Letting go of the little things you know I do 

(There's a ghost in my bedroom, Ah) 
And he's dying to meet you 
God knows he's heard all about you 
I guess he's friendly enough, though 
(There's a ghost in my bedroom, Ah) 
I see him always taking roses in your bed 
Says he won't let you down 
He won't, he won't, he won't 

(There's a ghost in my bedroom, Ah) 
(There's a ghost in my bedroom, Ah) 
(There's a ghost in my bedroom, Ah) 
(There's a ghost in my bedroom, Ah) 
(There's a ghost in my bedroom, Ah)
