My body sinks to the bottom
You were the last one to know
Never needed a home but had nowhere else to go
Now I'm drifting to pieces
Time is slipping away
Always thought you would end up finding a reason to stay
In this house I built for you
All our plans would follow suit
You'd forget who you had been and finally give in

Is it too late to go back down that road?
Or take the backroads, we're not the same no
Tell me I'm not dreaming again
Our love is not a ghost, our love is not a ghost
Could build a brand new home

You gave me reason to follow a plan to build myself up
I did it all just to show you you had nowhere else to go
Now the winter is coming and time is slipping away
You're getting hard to convince that you have a reason to stay

In this house I built for you
All our plans have fallen through
I forget who we have been and finally give in

Is it too late to go back down that road?
Or take the backroads, we're not the same no
Tell me I'm not dreaming again
Our love is not a ghost, our love is not a ghost
Could build a brand new home

I made a fool of myself
How I've been backwards
Still you're the only one I ever want to call my own
We can drive out of this hell
We'll take the backroads
Our love is not a ghost, our love is not a ghost

Is it too late to go back down that road?
Or take the backroads, we're not the same no
Tell me I'm not dreaming again
Our love is not a ghost, our love is not a ghost
Could build a brand new home
