[Intro]
This house's ghost is shallow
Sleepwalking all through the night, by candlelight
Like a fairy tale from the pages of my mind
These halls are dark and drift side to side
We will leave behind all of these haunted walls
And these ramshackle doors

[Verse 1]
I'm passing over the earth
And all that's in between
I still see apparitions holding on to fantasy
We fell into a fabled land somewhere
Somewhere we need to believe
We stitched up all the seams
But the tapestry is unravelling

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Our faded star is flickering

[Chorus]
This house's ghost is shallow
Sleepwalking all through the night, by candlelight
Like a fairy tale from the pages of my mind
These halls are dark and drift side to side
What a delight it must be to pass through walls
And watch us from the outside
[Post-Chorus 1]
This crooked man's now crooked home is all that's left of me

[Verse 2]
They speak of ancient deeds now dwelling in the majesty
Like wind to the leaves, at the edges of the world we'll always meet
So hand down all of our stories through your makeshift town
I'll wait here 'til morning, watching faeries abound

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I had to let her through the door (Through the door)
I had no choice but to let her go (To let her go)
I was the friend she missed
I fear the dawn and cuts we risk

[Chorus]
This house's ghost is shallow
Sleepwalking all through the night, by candlelight
Like a fairy tale from the pages of my mind
These halls are dark and drift side to side
What a delight it must be to pass through walls
And watch us from the outside

[Post-Chorus 2]
We will leave behind all of these haunted walls
And these ramshackle doors
