lyrics

chasing a ghost


It’s like waking up with your head under water holding your breath waiting for escape for the
Winter to break do I have what it takes
Sort like just before your first kiss never knowing if you’ll be any good at this
Sort of thing loving a human being

Close my eyes and I’ll be okay

Sometimes I carry it all with my back to the wall
Sometimes I don’t see what I fight right in front of my eyes
Sometimes when I needed you most I was chasing a ghost
Of mine but now I can see the best in life for me
Is time

It’s like holding your child when they show you their first smile feeling the chills turn into water and it fills my eyes each and every time
Will it always feel like it did on that first day like nothing else matters just as much as me and that little smile making my whole life worthwhile
It’s like feeling your toes going numb in the snowfall tingle then burn then no feeling at all would you cut me off just like the biting frost

Close my eyes and I’ll be okay
Close my eyes and I’ll be okay

Sometimes I carry it all with my back to the wall
Sometimes I don’t see what I fight right in front of my eyes
Sometimes when I needed you most I was chasing a ghost
Of mine but now I can see the best in life for me
Is time

WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST I WAS CHASING A GHOST OF MINE
close my eyes and i’ll be okay

Their lush sound of strings and Carranza’s Eno-esque atmosphere give Rouse’s emotionally charged lyrics a fitting place to come to hit home. ... more
