Beautiful Ghosts Lyrics
Follow me home, if you dare to
I wouldn't know where to lead you
Should I take chances? When no one took chances on me
So I watch in the dark, wait for my life to start
With no beauty in my memory
All that I wanted, was to be wanted
Too young to wander London streets alone and haunted
Born into nothing, at least you have something, something to cling to
Visions of dazzling rooms I'll never get let into
And the memories were lost long ago
But at least you'll have beautiful ghosts
Perilous night, there voices calling
A flicker of light, before the dawning
Out here the wild ones are taming the fear within me
Scared to call them my friends and be broken again
Is this hope just a mystical dream?
All that I wanted, was to be wanted
Too young to wander London streets alone and haunted
Born into nothing, at least you have something, something to cling to
Visions of dazzling rooms I'll never get let into
And the memories were lost long ago
But at least you'll have beautiful ghosts
And so maybe my home isn't what I have known,
What I thought it would be
But I feel so alive with these phantoms of night,
And I know that this life isn't safe
But it's wild and it's free
All that I wanted, was to be wanted
I'll never wander London streets alone and haunted
Born into nothing, with them I have something, something to cling to
I never knew I'd love this world they've let me into
And the memories were lost long ago
So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts
And the memories were lost long ago
So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts
I wouldn't know where to lead you
Should I take chances? When no one took chances on me
So I watch in the dark, wait for my life to start
With no beauty in my memory
Too young to wander London streets alone and haunted
Born into nothing, at least you have something, something to cling to
Visions of dazzling rooms I'll never get let into
And the memories were lost long ago
But at least you'll have beautiful ghosts
A flicker of light, before the dawning
Out here the wild ones are taming the fear within me
Scared to call them my friends and be broken again
Is this hope just a mystical dream?
Too young to wander London streets alone and haunted
Born into nothing, at least you have something, something to cling to
Visions of dazzling rooms I'll never get let into
And the memories were lost long ago
But at least you'll have beautiful ghosts
What I thought it would be
But I feel so alive with these phantoms of night,
And I know that this life isn't safe
But it's wild and it's free
I'll never wander London streets alone and haunted
Born into nothing, with them I have something, something to cling to
I never knew I'd love this world they've let me into
And the memories were lost long ago
So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts
And the memories were lost long ago
So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts
