I was as pure as a river
But now I think I'm possessed
You put a fever inside me
And I've been cold since you left
I've got a boyfriend now and he's made of gold
You moved past your own mistakes in a bed at home
I'm hoping you could save me now but you break and fold
You've got a fire inside but your heart's so cold
'Cause I've done some things that I can't speak
And I've tried to wash away but you just won't leave
So won't you take a breath and dive in deep
'Cause I came here so you'd come for me
I'm begging you to keep on haunting
I'm begging you to keep on haunting me
I'm begging you to keep on haunting
I'm begging you to keep on haunting me
We walk as tall as the skyline
And we have roots like the trees
But then your eyes start to wander
They weren't looking at me
You weren't looking for me
'Cause I've done some things that I can't speak
And I've tried to wash away but you just won't leave
So won't you take a breath and dive in deep
'Cause I came here so you'd come for me
I'm begging you to keep on haunting
I'm begging you to keep on haunting me
I'm begging you to keep on haunting
I'm begging you to keep on haunting me
'Cause I've done some things that I can't speak
And I've tried to wash away but you just won't leave
So won't you take a breath and dive in deep
'Cause I came here so you'd come for me
I'm begging you to keep on haunting
I'm begging you to keep on haunting me
I'm begging you to keep on haunting
I'm begging you to keep on haunting me
But now I think I'm possessed
You put a fever inside me
And I've been cold since you left
I've got a boyfriend now and he's made of gold
You moved past your own mistakes in a bed at home
I'm hoping you could save me now but you break and fold
You've got a fire inside but your heart's so cold
And I've tried to wash away but you just won't leave
So won't you take a breath and dive in deep
'Cause I came here so you'd come for me
I'm begging you to keep on haunting me
I'm begging you to keep on haunting
I'm begging you to keep on haunting me
And we have roots like the trees
But then your eyes start to wander
They weren't looking at me
You weren't looking for me
And I've tried to wash away but you just won't leave
So won't you take a breath and dive in deep
'Cause I came here so you'd come for me
I'm begging you to keep on haunting me
I'm begging you to keep on haunting
I'm begging you to keep on haunting me
And I've tried to wash away but you just won't leave
So won't you take a breath and dive in deep
'Cause I came here so you'd come for me
I'm begging you to keep on haunting me
I'm begging you to keep on haunting
I'm begging you to keep on haunting me

"Pure as a River" & "I think I possessed" & "You put a Fire inside Me" = Nubile falls...VERY Deeply in Luv for another.
"We walk as tall as the skyline... And we have roots like the trees" = The Love/Lovemaking seemed bigger than anything else in her/his LIFE.
Yet, the other was ONLY sexually hot for her/him, and has discarded her/him YET THE MEMORY OF THE TRYST is forever HAUNTING
so HAUNTING the discarded Lover she/he returns physically "begging for a relationship... long past" and mentally as the unable to porcees being discarded for another... simply / forever HAUNTING
I think the song is about someone who cannot forget their ex/a person they once loves. The person might be trying to stay in hers/his life. but she/he has a girlfriend/boyfriend but they just want to stay with the person.
She's yearning for a lover that kept his marriage a secret from her, she loved him and couldn't shake it, tried to move on with her life but her heart wants him however there is to have
