There's a ghost in my bedroom
It haunts me at night
I've asked him to leave
But he keeps stopping by
Just when I think that I'm alone
It shows up again with a friend this time
And now this is getting old
I don't know what to do
Metaphorically, this ghost is you

Now, this ghost in my bedroom
It gives me advice
He promised, one day, that he'd teach me to fight
Now, when I think that I'm alone
He comes up my way with a devil smile
Singing, "This is now my home
You're my wish come true
When you reach that golden cloud
I'll be there with you."

If there were monsters in the closet
Well I don't think I would be surprised
I hear them call out from my window
They try and trick me to come outside
I won't let you down
We talked all day, I can't tell if he's real
Or a made up version of her again
Never alone cause I've got you
Get this out of my head

No, I won't waste away my love onto something new
If there's only one way out, I'll come back for you

If I get stuck out there forever
Tell everyone that I said goodbye
You're on my lifelong list of wishes
And I could bring you back
But we don't belong here now

If he stays, well that just means I've got numbered days
Till I go back to my little world where it's just me
And my imaginary friends

So go on, love, find a new direction
Hold my heart, keep it for protection
Don't get stuck on your way
The other side's a scary place
Do your best not to be afraid
Lose it all when we run away
Letting go of the little things you know that I do
There's a ghost in my bedroom
And he's dying to meet you
God knows he's heard all about you
I guess he's friendly enough though
I'll see him more
There's a ghost in my bedroom
Always sneaking roses in your bed
He says he won't let you down
He will, he will, he will

There's a ghost in my bedroom
He will, he will, he will
When the world is crashing down
He will, he will, he will
When the world is crashing down

There's a ghost in my bedroom
Softly, slowly how can I go down?
I want you to notice when I let go
There's a ghost in my bedroom
Softly, slowly how can I come down?
I want you to notice when I let go

There's a ghost in my bedroom
