lyrics

so you've come to set me straight
an irresistible disaster
so hold me up against the others
maybe we'll both find what we're after

'cause it doesn't take much
it hardly takes anything
to make me feel like a ghost these days
invisible, ethereal
and just a gold star by my name

so say you wanna keep me safe
'cause I wanna be someone worth saving
but I'm always leaving one door open
for whenever you get tired of waiting

'cause it doesn't take much
it hardly takes anything
to make me feel like a ghost these days
invisible, ethereal
and just a gold star by my name

cut away the ropes and skin that
tie us down and hem us in and
did you think I'd fall for that again?

and all the things I've ever wanted
were things that needed to be given
another house been doused for burning
just blame it on another bad decision.

'cause it doesn't take much
it hardly takes anything
to make me feel like a ghost these days
invisible, ethereal
and just a gold star by my name
