about

Sometimes when you love someone you'll try your hardest to keep them long after they're gone. On a related note, monogamy is stressful.

lyrics

I met a girl in August, I was still with you
She made my heart flutter, but I didn't need to wonder
What people like that could do

Knew I was happy living by the rules
But you know me, I'm so intrigued
By the thought of something new

And I thought I was strong enough
Thought nothing's gonna break together
I had no plans to ever take apart forever

But now I'm a ghost that nobody knows
Floating from lover to lover cause I can't be owned
You're passing right through me, I'm losing control
I'm trying to tell myself it's better to let go
I'm just a ghost, I'm just a ghost

I met a boy just like you, but a little less kind
Thought he knew everything there was to know
But he thought that he was mine

Met another one and realized
I was looking for you in every line
I just couldn't find you in their eyes

And I thought I was strong enough
Thought nothing's gonna break together
I had no plans to ever take apart forever

But now I'm a ghost that nobody knows
Floating from lover to lover cause I can't be owned
You're passing right through me, I'm losing control
I'm trying to tell myself, It's better to let go

No one ever has to know
I'm a little troubled but I'm not alone
Take my hand before you go
Touch my cheek and tell me when you'll be home
My ghost

But now I'm a ghost that nobody knows
Floating from lover to lover cause I can't be owned
I'm just a shadow, smaller than my bones
I'd ask if you love me but I can't handle a "no"

I'm just a ghost that nobody knows
Floating from lover to lover cause I can't be owned
I'm just a shadow, smaller than my bones
You leave when I answer, but you're still made of gold
I'm just a ghost, I'm just a ghost
I'm just a ghost, I'm just a ghost
I'm just a ghost
