'falling for a ghost' - (july 2009)

I don't want to leave
I don't want to stay
I don't want to wake up
just being in your way

I'm paper thin
resting on this glass
whittling away
the checkers of the past
crying for your skin
falling through your eyes
not remembering
the truth or the lies

you're lying (I don't want to leave)
you know (I don't want to go)
I'm dying (I don't want to leave)
hello (no I don't want to go)
to say hello

I start to wonder
when you're not around
if I'm the only person
who thinks that the sound
of an ambulance rushing
to take me away
is the prettiest thing
that I could hear today

I'm dying (I don't want to leave)
you know (I don't want to go)
you're falling (I don't want to leave)
I hope (no I don't want to go)
for a ghost

I'm wishing I was there
like the rain on your cheek
a memory spared
though we'll never speak
you might think of me
when you wipe me from your face
fall into his arms
I'm erased, erased

you're forgetting (I don't want to leave)
I know (I don't want to go)
you're letting (I don't want to leave)
I hope (no I don't want to go)
me go
