[Verse 1]
Aw, you're a ghost,
Even if you look familiar
Standin up close,
Dead and I can see right through ya
Silence and tears,
Tell me girl- hypothesize
How you get here,
When my sweetheart up and died?
[Verse 2]
I was skippin stones,
And I whispered to them all
'Bout a girl I used to know,
'Cause I wanted her around
Missin' her with each,
And as they crossed the river
They built her on the beach,
But she would not make a sound
[Verse 3]
I called across the water,
Does she miss us like I do?
All I had to offer was
That I would be right there
Where I could not run,
I swam to where she waited!
All I found was that I
Just see her ev'rywhere!
Aaah,
Aaah,
Aaah.
I care about you!
I care about you!
[Verse 4]
Damn, you're a ghost!
Even if you look familiar
Standin' up close,
Dead and I can see right through ya
Silence and tears,
Tell me girl- hypothesize
How did you get here
When my sweetheart up and died?
[Outro]
