[00:23.15]there's a letter on the desktop
[00:25.84]that i dug out of a drawer
[00:28.58]the last truce we ever came to
[00:31.80]in our adolescent war
[00:34.67]and i start to feel the fever
[00:37.67]from the warm air through the screen
[00:40.73]you come regular like seasons
[00:44.37]shadowing my dreams
[00:50.69]
[00:53.81]and the mississippi's mighty
[00:56.44]but it starts in minnesota
[00:59.19]at a place that you could walk across
[01:02.87]with five steps down
[01:05.43]and i guess that's how you started
[01:08.32]like a pinprick to my heart
[01:11.25]but at this point you rush right through me
[01:14.60]and i start to drown
[01:17.47]and there's not enough room
[01:20.78]in this world for my pain
[01:24.53]signals cross and love gets lost
[01:27.42]and time passed makes it plain
[01:30.42]of all my demon spirits
[01:33.55]i need you the most
[01:37.36]i'm in love with your ghost
[01:42.42]i'm in love with your ghost
[01:48.50]
[01:57.81]dark and dangerous like a secret
[02:00.94]that gets whispered in a hush
[02:03.49]when i wake the things i dreamt about you
[02:07.62]last night make me blush
[02:09.87]and you kiss me like a lover
[02:13.00]then you sting me like a viper
[02:16.19]i go follow to the river
[02:19.31]play your memory like a piper
[02:22.69]and i feel it like a sickness
[02:25.44]how this love is killing me
[02:29.00]i'd walk into the fingers
[02:31.81]of your fire willingly
[02:34.12]
[02:35.30]and dance the edge of sanity
[02:38.61]i've never been this close
[02:42.11]i'm in love with your ghost
[02:47.30]
[03:00.05]unknowing captor
[03:01.93]you never know how much you
[03:06.30]pierce my spirit
[03:09.05]but i can't touch you
[03:12.23]can you hear it
[03:14.62]a cry to be free
[03:20.37]oh i'm forever under lock and key
[03:25.49]as you pass through me
[03:33.81]
[03:35.06]now i see your face before me
[03:38.19]i would launch a thousand ships
[03:41.00]to bring your heart back to my island
[03:44.25]as the sand beneath me slips
[03:47.31]as i burn up in your presence
[03:50.57]and i know now how it feels
[03:53.63]to be weakened like achilles
[03:56.82]with you always at my heels
[04:00.45]this bitter pill i swallow
[04:03.33]is the silence that i keep
[04:06.70]it poisons me i can't swim free
[04:10.07]the river is too deep
[04:12.45]though i'm baptized by your touch
[04:15.52]i am no worse than most
[04:19.14]in love with your ghost
[04:25.20]you are shadowing my dreams
[04:31.38](in love with your ghost)
[04:38.03](in love with your ghost)
