lyrics

I will keep you close
Songs will be your ghost
I won’t stop inviting you
Don’t you float so far
Ordinary stars don’t need you
Don’t know you like I do

When you start to slip away
You start to slip away
I play the music, I play the music
When you start to slip away
You start to slip, I play
‘Cause when there’s music
I feel you most
And songs are ghosts
Songs are ghosts

I will keep you near
Whisper in my ear
Remind me, remind me what is true
And if you go unbound
I will be your sound
Come find me, come find a passage through

And when I start to slip away
I start to slip away
You say “there’s music, there’s always music”
When I start to slip away
I start to slip, you say,
“I’ll be the music, you be the host”

“The song’s the ghost
The song is my ghost”
Songs are ghosts
Ooo, songs are ghosts

Let me keep you young
Curl inside my lungs
I’ll bring you, I’ll bring you back to earth
Don’t you float so far
Ordinary stars don’t need you
Don’t know how much you’re worth

I will keep you close
Songs will be your ghost
I’ll be your ghost
