If I had to sum up the meaning of this song in a single sentence, I'd say this: the "ghost" is a metaphor for love.
If the song was originally called 'ghost', it's telling us that the "ghost" metaphor is what the song is really about.
The singer describes the ghost as follows: it's something that haunts her; it makes her sigh in her sleep (it's in her lungs) and it makes her say things she wouldn't normally say (it's wrapped around her tongue); it even makes her walk up to someone (it walks with her legs) and fall down at their feet.
If there is such a thing that makes her dream about someone, makes her happy enough to die when they kiss her, makes her sigh at night, makes her say and do things she wouldn't normally say or do, makes her fall down before someone -- if there is such a thing, it is love.
i think the ghost might represent her heart, because she says its in her lungs (and your heart's in-between your lungs) but i'm not sure. i love your summary :] x

Just become a member of this forum and this was the first song I looked up and Fortunatus I agree with your summary entirely.
Because this is 'ghost' I'd say she was relating to an old love 'stop haunting me' and she still loves him so much she's going to let the feelings take over and kill her 'I love you so much, I'm going to let you kill me'.
Just my thoughts - most touching song I've heard in years and she sings it with such passion x
