There's a ghost in my bedroom, it haunts me at night
I've asked him to leave, but he keeps stopping by
Just when I think that 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 he gives me advice
He promised one day that 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 golden cloud I'll be there with you
If there were monsters in the closet
Well I don't think I would be surprised
I hear them call out from my window
They try and 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, because I've got you
Get this out of my head
-Guitar Solo-
No I won't waste away my love
On to 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 goodbye
You're on my lifelong list of wishes
If I could bring you back
We don't belong here now
If he stays well that just means I've got numbered days
Til I go back to my little world
Where it's just me and my imaginary friends
So go out and love
Find a new direction
(Here's 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
(Letting go of 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
I guess he's friendly enough
Though I've seen him lie
(He's seeking roses in your bed)
Says he won't let you down
He will! He will! He will!
There's a ghost in my bedroom
(He will! He will! He will!
Slowly slowly how could I go down
I want you to notice when I let go
Slowly slowly how could I go down?
I want you to notice when I let go
(There's a ghost in my bedroom)
