This song is so weird... it isn't until you listen to it at least 15 times, and heard all of the albums, that you get it.
I finally realized that he's literally talking about 'that same girl' they've been talking about.
"There's a ghost in my bedroom
It haunts me and I
I've asked him to leave but he keeps stopping by
Just when I think I'm alone
It shows up again with a friend this time"
This song is about lingering love. That point in love when you've been broken up with someone for a while, and yet you're still in love with the OLD them. That idea of the person they once were.
"When he talked all day
I can't tell if he's real or a made up version of her again
Never alone cause I got you
Get this out of my head
No I won't waste away my life
On to something new"
In this song, he goes back and forth with who he is now, and the person he was when he loved her/when he was with her. At the end of the day, he knows he will never have her back in the same way from before, and he knows she isn't good for him; which is why he talks about 'his ghost'
"There's a ghost in my bedroom
And he's dying to meet you
God knows he's heard all about you
Our guest is friendly enough though
Softly, slowly , how can I come down?
I want you to notice when I let go"
The end is basically the feeling of him conquering his "ghost". He's looking at him head on and fighting that feeling, and making sure that SHE knows he's let her go. Physically anyway.
Overall, this is an amazing song about the aftermath of a love that's lost.
I mean wow.
