I sense this song is about someone who, for a long time, did not like himself - did not like the person he was. He tried to keep changing himslef for others, to be someone he wasn't. But that never worked for him. Now years have passed and he's looking back at the 'ghostly' life he has been leading when he realizes that he actually misses his old self - or rather that he got cheated out of living an authentic life. Now he's searching for his ghost - his true self - the one he pushed out for so long. He wants to bring back that once hated part of himself (the ghost) and to love, honour and cherish it as being fundemental to his true nature. "A ghost just needs a home". Basically, the person finally accepts himself.
