lyrics

You’ve been circling ‘round my thoughts again
Like a halo dog-earred and half-bent
Mortal coil, salt the soil, shuffle to a beat
Floating above us, tell me, what do you see?

But now you rest beneath, below the pain and grief
A boy I barely knew but you keep haunting my dreams
And if I could control the fourth dimensional
I’d pick the universe where we’d converse soul to soul

Your ghost came close to loving me
Your ghost haunts all the in-betweens
Your ghost he kissed me in the dark
Your ghost cracked my frozen heart

You’ve been circling ‘round my thoughts again
Like an angel never to ascend
You built an Ark of flesh and blood
Now drift away as we watch our world flood

But underneath the fear and the shallows of our years
There’s a man we keep as you sleep, we hold him close and dear
Your love ripples and waves and more than urns or graves
We hold you within, soft as skin, these memories you gave

Your ghost came close to loving me
Your ghost haunts all the in-betweens
Your ghost kissed me in the dark
Your ghost cracked our frozen hearts

[spoken]
