So you finally showed up on my doorstep
After years of exploding my heart
I guess that's just the way of the evening
Things end twice before they start
I've been walking a tightrope to nowhere
Expecting the least from the most
You finally arrived
Found out I'd survived
It was just like seeing a ghost

My heart was a drift on the skyline
My feelings were lost in a book
I'd just given in to that feeling within
That shouted
You won't get another look
The candles were burning the incense
While the incense blew out towards the coast
Out there in the dark
You set one more spark
Yes it was just like seeing a ghost

I was sorting out damp dirty laundry
In the back of a red Chevrolet
I guess that's just the way they spell disaster
I work far too hard for to play
I've been spending my life in a coma
While you played the ultimate host
You've taken my mind
Oh my God I almost went blind
It was just like seeing a ghost

So you finally showed up on my doorstep
After years of exploding my heart
I guess that's just the way of the evening
Things end twice before they start
I've been walking a tightrope to nowhere
Expecting the least from the most
You finally arrived
Found out I'd survived
Yes it was just like seeing a ghost
Out there in the dark
You lit one more spark
Yes it was just like seeing a ghost
You've taken my mind
I almost went blind
It was just like seeing a ghost
