There’s a girl overseas
That thing bring me to my knees
I still see her bleach-blonde hair when im dreaming
But it wasn’t my plan
To hear of her giving her hand
To some other kind of man
That isn’t me
A ghost is the closest thing I have to a home
A ghost is the closest thing I have to a home
And it sings me to sleep, it sings me to sleep
But I get no rest cause it haunts me in my dreams
Now she’s raising her child
And I recognize that smile
Though I guess it’s been a while
Since it was pointed at me
How she feels, I don’t know
If she’s settled in her soul
She’s a caged bird and I’m free
But I’m still alone
A ghost is the closest thing I have to a home
A ghost is the closest thing I have to a home
And it sings me to sleep, it sings me to sleep
But I get no rest cause it haunts me in my dreams
I don’t know, I don’t got a clue
I spread my wings
But ghosts fly too
So the only thing that I know to do
Is just run away
I just run away
I’ll just run away
A ghost is the closest thing I have to a home
A ghost is the closest thing I have to a home
And it sings me to sleep, it sings me to sleep
But I get no rest cause it haunts me in my dreams
I do hope she’s well
Though sometimes hard to tell
If she’s the one who’s free
Or maybe it’s me
