MAYDAY PARADE- Ghosts LYRICS

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;
I 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 fight
Now, when I think that I’m alone
He comes up 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 them call out from my window,
They try and trick me to come outside
(I won’t let you down)
We had 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 love onto 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
You’re on my life long list of wishes
And I could bring you back
But we don’t belong here now
If he stays, well that just means I’ve got numbered days
‘Till I go back to my little world
Where it’s just me and my imaginary friends

So go on love, find a new direction
(Hold my heart, keep it for protection)
And 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 knew)

There’s a ghost in my bedroom
(And he’s dying to meet you)
God knows he’s heard all about you,
I guess he’s friendly enough though
I’ve seen him lie
(Always sneaking roses in your bed)
Says he won’t let you down:
He will, he will, he will

(When the world comes crashing down)
(Softly, slowly, how can I calm down?)
(I want you to notice when I let go)
