Lyrics of 'Ghosts' by 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
And just when I think 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 he'd teach me to fight
Now when I think that I'm alone
He comes up my way with a devil smile, singing
"This is now my home, you're my wish come true
When you reach that floating cloud, I'll be there with you."
If there are monsters in the closet, I don't think I will be surprised
I hear them crawl out from my window, they try to 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 got you. Get this out of my head.
No I won't waste away my life, 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 good-bye
And that my life-long list of wishes, that I could bring you back
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
Save my heart, keep it for 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
Let it go, all the little things you know I do

There's a ghost in my bedroom, and he's dying to meet you
God knows he's heard all about you
Our guest is friendly enough though
(There's a ghost in my bedroom, aaahhaaa)
Always sneaking roses in your bed
He says he won't let you down
But he will, he will, he will.
(There's a ghost in my bedroom, aaahhaaa)
(He will, he will, he will)
We're the one's crashing down, we're the one's crashing down
(There's a ghost in my bedroom, aaahhaaa)
(He will, he will, he will)
We're the one's crashing down, we're the one's crashing down

(There's a ghost in my bedroom, aaahhaaa)
Softly, slowly, how can I come down?
I want you to notice when I let go

(There's a ghost in my bedroom, aaahhaaa)
Softly, slowly, how can I come down?
I want you to notice when I let go

There's a ghost in my bedroom, aaahhaaa
