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´s 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
´Til 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).
And 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,
(Ah, ah).
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,
(Ah, ah).
He´s in your bed, says he won´t let you down.
He will, he will, he will.

(There´s a ghost in my bedroom),
(Ah, ah).
(He will, he will, he will),
(When the world is crashing down, when the world is crashing down). [x2]

Softly, slowly how can I go down?
I want you to notice when I let go.
Softly, slowly how can I come down?
I want you to notice when I let go.

(There´s a ghost in my bedroom),
(Ah, ah).
