Friendly Ghost

Harlem

I live in a graveyard
I wanna go out but it's too hot
Yeah, I'm just as see-through as Casper the Ghost
Oh, I hope you know I wanna get outta here
Help me get outta here

I can't stand it
I'm so possessive
The more you keep the closer you get to love (?)
?
I wanna disappear all the time
Help me disappear
Tonight!

You're only happy when you win
?
Whatever happened to me
Whatever happened to me, makin' you happy

I can't stand it
I'm so possessive
The more you keep the closer you get to love (?)
?
I wanna disappear all the time
Help me disappear
Tonight!

Did I do something bad
Cause you're in the worst mood I think you ever had
Did I do something wrong
Cause it's been a long long long time

I can't stand it
I'm so possessive
The more you keep the closer you get to love (?)
?
I wanna disappear all the time.
Help me disappear
Tonight!

I wanna disappear all the time

    "the coffins spin in circles, to the touch it feels just like your carpet"

    and i believe

    "you're only happy when you win" and then "you're with me, go and get our pills" or "something something, uphill"

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
