Ghost Lyrics

Monday hurts just like the weekend,
Closed promenades and a beer
And everything's so close to leavin',
It's funny anyone comes here.
I wanted to give you a letter,
Maybe take you down to the coast,
But everyone has something special
I guess I just wanted a ghost.

Fall comes, just like it does
Sun sets on its own
Spring comes, just like it does
I'm starting to feel pretty dumb
I'm still in love with a ghost
Still in love with a ghost
In love...
With a ghost

Taking the afternoon, Sunday
Sit and go be destroyed
And little girls love all the romance
And figurine plastic boys
Well, I wanted to give you a letter
I wanted you, and I lost...
And everyone has something special
And everyone can kiss my ass

'Cause Fall comes, just like it does
The sun sets on its own
Spring comes, just like it does
I'm starting to feel pretty dumb
I'm still in love with a ghost
Still in love with a ghost
Still in love...
Still in love...
With a ghost

You know Monday hurts just like the weekend,
Closed promenade and a beer.
Well, I'd give you all of my money
If I thought you could meet me here.
'Cause I wanted to give you a letter,
Maybe take you down to the coast,
But everyone has something special
I guess I just wanted a ghost.

Fall comes, just like it does
The sun sets on its own
Spring comes, just like it does
I'm starting to feel pretty dumb
I'm still in love with a ghost
Still in love with a ghost
Still in love... with a ghost

Is this about a lost lover??

I think it is more about someone that is still "haunting" him. Someone that he just can't get over. So, she is lost in a sense, but not necessary dead. The one that got away.

Fabulous song.

Cover art for Ghost lyrics by Ryan Adams

this song really touches me. it reminds me a lot of this summer. a guy i'd really gotten into had to move to berlin, so we put off a relationship, because we knew it'd hurt both of us in the end. he snuck over to my house a few nights, and my parents found out and grounded me for the rest of the summer. so i never got to tell him goodbye before he left in august. and i wrote him a letter before he left, and called a friend of mine, who told him to come pick it up at my house one night, and he never came, never got it. not to mention, he got a girlfriend before he left, and is still dating her now, even though they're separated by an ocean. (i wanted you, and i lost) and he's back in town now, but i have no way to get in touch with him, but god i'd give all my money for him to meet me here, even though he hurt me bad. and i feel really ridiculous, because i can't have him. but i still love him.
