Your Ghost Lyrics
this song has got the same imagery as everything but the girl -missing "go past your door but you dont live there anymore, its years since you've been there' A person lost and unable or unwilling to move on, keeps checking back to the last place they were happy i love the line "i cant drink this coffee til i put you in my closet' the ghost is impairing her ability to sleep, eat and even drink but she thinks she can just lock these feelings away. she tries to take away his power by saying "your not that tough" it's a beautiful song
I love this interpretation. I love this song and I love love the cover (oh, the blasphemy) by Greg Laswell. I hadn't heard of Hersh until now. I like her a lot. :)

Everyone should comment on this song. It's beautiful.
Michael Stipe of REM does an excellent job helping out Kristin.
Sometimes the memory of a person you love that has left haunts you.
And how can you get over someone when you don't want to?....
when i listen to this song it reminds me of when my grandad died, and i couldn't believe it, couldn't cope with it. and i used to ring his house, because his phone stayed connected for a whole month afterwards, and so i would call to hear his voice on the answering machine. and whenever the phone rang, there was this little part of me that thought it was him ringing, in the first few months after his death. so this song just reminds me of losing someone, anyone, and not being able to let go, but wanting to.
@hkbm It's been more than fourteen years since you wrote this comment, I don't know if you'll ever read this comment. But I am so touched by your reflection about your beloved grandfather. So touched. May he, and you, be blessed. Wow. So deep and beautiful and important. Thank you.

I attempted to learn this song on guitar - my guitar playing was so pitiful I gave it up - the chord progression is so strange. It just goes around in circles. The first line is Am- G - D - Am. The second line is G-D-Am-G, the third line is D-Am-G-Am.
Kind of like the circular madness of the song.
It's proper musical insights like this that are sadly lacking from this site. Thank you

"you were in my dreams you were driving circles around me,"
it's a horrible feeling, being unable to shake someone to the point they're in your dreams constantly, and you wake to that heavy feeling of helplessness because there's nothing you can do about how things are... it just adds insult to injury being haunted by someone like that. this song captures that feeling so well.
hellas, if you find out, let me know. =P
great song i have nothing else to say
Absolutely spine-tingling song.
"It's the blaze across my nightgown"
Wow! I see a subtle wind blazing through her dress, like a ghost flying past her. Such powerful imagery.
