I saw a ghost on the stairs
And sheets on the tables and chairs
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink
Even so, I don´t know what to think

I´ve been longing for
Daisies to push through the floor
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
So I won´t feel dead anymore
So I won´t feel dead anymore

I saw a bear in the den
Readin´ my textbooks again
Bats float like traffic as they pour from the attic
Heaven knows I could really use a friend

I´d rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings
Would you strum on mine?

Da da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da

I´ve been longing for (I´ve been longing for)
Daisies to push through the floor (I never really felt like this before)
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
So I won´t feel dead anymore
So I won´t feel dead anymore

Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet
And give me a ghost of a smile
Show me your teeth, ´cause you´re a teddy beneath
So just grin and bear it a while
Just grin and bear it a while

I´d rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings
Would you strum on mine?

Da da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da
(I thought that was all about lovin´ at all)
Da da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da
(New leaf turns over, I´m willing to fall)

Tonight I´m bustin´ out
Of this old haunted house
´Cause I´m sick of waiting for
All those spider webs to grow all around me
´Cause I don´t feel dead anymore
And I´m not afraid anymore

I´d rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings
Would you strum on mine?

If I were to pluck on your heartstrings
Would you strum on mine?
