Let me wrap myself around you
You'll show me how I see it
And when you come back in from nowhere
Do you ever think of me?
Your heart, not able
Let me show you how much I care
I need those eyes to tide me over
I'll take your picture when I go
Gives me strength and gives me patience
But I'll never let you know
I got nothing on you, babe
But I always said I'll try
Let me show you
How much I care
Sometimes it gets hard
Don't you know?
[Chorus x 3]
Don't give the ghost up
Just clench your fist
You should know by now
You were on my list
Your heart, not able
Your ways - they're not able
Let me show you
How much I care
Sometimes it gets hard
And don't ya know?
[Chorus x 3]
When you rock and roll with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
When you rock and roll with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
You'll show me how I see it
And when you come back in from nowhere
Do you ever think of me?
Your heart, not able
Let me show you how much I care
I need those eyes to tide me over
I'll take your picture when I go
Gives me strength and gives me patience
But I'll never let you know
I got nothing on you, babe
But I always said I'll try
Let me show you
How much I care
Sometimes it gets hard
Don't you know?
[Chorus x 3]
Don't give the ghost up
Just clench your fist
You should know by now
You were on my list
Your heart, not able
Your ways - they're not able
Let me show you
How much I care
Sometimes it gets hard
And don't ya know?
[Chorus x 3]
When you rock and roll with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
When you rock and roll with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be

The song is about unrequinted love. He wants to be with her, but for some reason or another he cannot be. There are many things he's always wanted to tell her.
The ghost he's referring to is a past lover who keeps reappearing in his mind, and he doesn't want to let the memory of her die. I could also see him writing this for someone he's known a long time, but they have changed into another person, and he doesn't want to let go of the past. "Clench your fist" would refer to him holding on to all he has which is a memory. When he says "you should have known by now you were on my list" it ties in with the whole idea of death and fate. Destiny won't allow these two to be together, but he wants her to know she was always on his list.
