The song is allegorical....running a light and lying papers= he's well known if only among friends and acquaintances, and he's got a GF (or BF, I'll go girl just for simplicity)...he did what guys do sometimes...he hung out with another girl because he was interested intellectually or just found her fun to be with...no sex...and his "friends" gossiped, got back to the GF. The papers lied. People like to bring people on the upswing down a notch, angels falling like rain.
I'm guessing the ghost is her soul, a good soul, what attracted him to her to begin with, "I won't judge you if you don't judge me."
She threatens to go, the gossipers, talking supermen, interfere.
Man, ain't we all been there. .It's a beautiful song, underappreciated, exquisite melody.
Saw them in ft Lauderdale once, sat in front row, great performance, the sound was so loud it damaged my hearing, I've had tinnitus ever since.
