Ghosts

Table for one
Doesn't matter which room
Something by the window
If you've got it, I'll take a booth
Whatever's clever
Check under the name Dweller
It's just me and all these ghosts I love

Peep at the menu
Glance just to the side
Picture-perfect Helen
Is looking at me in black and white
Was almost my Mrs
Now she's sitting right here blowing kisses
Just another ghost I love

Skip dessert, we'll hit the candy store
Same little spot I used to impress Eleanor
She was sweeter than the day
But she lived too far away
And that's how she became a ghost I love

Oh, you get me through my days
You turn my dark to light
You don't fuss and you don't change
And you come home every night

Checked in as one
Checked out as two
Met her in the hotel bar
And we knew, well, what to do
I did the things I did before
She did the things she did before
That we learned from all the ghosts we love

Oh, you get me through my days
You turn my darkness into great, white, bright light
You don't change and I don't seem to mind
Replay the movie of every time you used to soothe me
And play it again, play it again
Play it again one more time

Table for one
Doesn't matter about the view
Doesn't matter who I'm with
Where I go or what I do
I do the things I did before
I feel the way I felt before
When it's me and all these ghosts I love
It's just me and all these ghosts I love
It's me and all these ghosts I love
