Alright, the Furs are awesome and "The Ghost In You" is a great but seemingly mysterious song. This seems like a sad song with a sort of happy rhythm describing matters of the heart. It has always struck a chord of melancholy.... someone's at a loss regarding something... here's my interpreted opinion.
He still cares for her greatly (still loves her, still misses her). At any given opportunity his mind can drift into that place where she remains sewn into his heart and memories. The thought of her loss can suddenly and physically create tears in his heart and mind.
He may block out the loss occasionally by staying busy but when his mind is at idol it's a downward spiral of his soulmate lost for good. The relentless thought of her creates a mountain of regret and sadness in his heart. He knows they had a super strong love but that he somehow the true love was lost, somewhere along their way. Though that love now seems forever far from his reach, and he cannot understand it, he just wants to know that they will both end up alright.
A man in my shoes runs a light
A MAN (LIKE ME OR ANY OTHER MAN) RUNS A LIGHT
And all the papers lied tonight
THE DAILY NEWS IS ALL HYPE & LIES
But falling over you
BUT THE CONSTANT THOUGHT OF YOU
Is the news of the day
IS MY REAL STRUGGLE EVERYDAY
Angels fall like rain
SINCEREST TEARS OF LOSING YOU STREAM
And love is all of heaven away
AS MY ENDEARING LOVE FOR YOU SEEMS FAR BEYOND REACH
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
TIME MOVES FORWARD EVERYDAY
AS MY LOVE FOR YOU NEVER FADES
LIKE A GHOST I CAN ONLY WISH FOR YOU STILL
AS MY SINCERE LOVE FOR YOU DOESN’T FADE.
A race is on I'm on your side
TIME KEEPS PASSING AS I STILL WANT TO BE BY YOUR SIDE
And hearing you my engines die
FOR YOU REMAIN SEWN TO MY HEART AND IT’S BROKEN WITHOUT YOU
I'm in a mood for you
I’VE GOT YOU ON MY MIND AGAIN
For running away
LIKE A DOWNWARD SPIRAL THAT WON’T GO AWAY
stars come down in you
HOPES OF BEING WITH YOU FADE
And love, you can't give it away
THIS LOVE THAT WON’T QUIT…I STILL CAN’T GIVE IT TO YOU.
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
TIME MOVES FORWARD EVERYDAY
AS MY LOVE FOR YOU NEVER FADES
LIKE A GHOST I CAN ONLY WISH FOR YOU STILL
AS MY SINCERE LOVE FOR YOU DOESN’T FADE.
Don't you go
WHY’D YOU END THIS LOVE
It makes no sense
I WISH I COULD FIGURE IT OUT
When all your talking supermen
SEEMS EXCHANGED EXPRESSIONS OF FOREVER LOVERS
Just take away the time
WERE JUST A WASTE OF TIME
And get in the way
AN MEAN NOTHING ANYMORE
Ain't it just like rain
MAYBE IT’S JUST AS WELL
And love, is only heaven away
MAYBE LOVE WILL COME AGAIN ONE DAY
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
TIME MOVES FORWARD EVERYDAY
AS MY LOVE FOR YOU NEVER FADES
LIKE A GHOST I CAN ONLY WISH FOR YOU STILL
AS MY SINCERE LOVE FOR YOU DOESN’T FADE.
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
TIME MOVES FORWARD EVERYDAY
AS MY LOVE FOR YOU NEVER FADES
LIKE A GHOST I CAN ONLY WISH FOR YOU STILL
AS MY SINCERE LOVE FOR YOU DOESN’T FADE.
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
TIME MOVES FORWARD EVERYDAY
AS MY LOVE FOR YOU NEVER FADES
LIKE A GHOST I CAN ONLY WISH FOR YOU STILL
AS MY STRONG AND SINCERE LOVE FOR YOU DOESN’T FADE.
