Why don't you speak out loud instead of living in your head

Reaching for a Ghost

Drown in my heart and swim in my soul
But whatever you do don't let me go

I'm standing here on failing knees
Hoping for the day you will set me free

These lonely nights leave me cold and aching
For things that I can dream in my imagination

About a time when you and I are not just a fantasy
But two people who fall both fast and slowly

I've sat here listing all the reasons
About why these are just wasted feelings

The one that leaves me haunted the most
Is how the idea of us is like reaching for a ghost

The reality that you are just out of reach
Is a lesson that I should learn to preach

I've been here too many times before
You're nothing but another nail in the door

Yet here I am once again
Waiting for the chance to be given

I'm just reaching for a ghost
