lyrics

In October 1994 you were dressed from head to toe
In a costume made by your mother and a thread
Pulling needle through with cloth so white they exclaimed that night:
"You looked like an ghost in the light."
In winter of 1999 I said I was feeling fine
When my mother came out and found me face down in the snow
Hospitalized and glamorized by those blood test tubes they took
And the whispered words I heard in my sleep

For someone, so young, you can't imagine what that was like
I was mesmerized by light
I was dazzled but then diced
By the Doctors on all sides

In the year of 2005, that's when he kissed you under the tree
At that festival that your parents brought you to
He whispered silly things into your ears that year
And made you promises that you realized one day would never come true.

Dreams like ships from distant times
You were captivating mine
You were fashioned by the mind
Of some god

It’s October, 2009 and I can say you're finally mine
Dressed just like a ghost at some Halloween event
How I'll say to you, in the darkness then:
"You look like no ghost at all, but an angel who just fell into my arms"

How you bored in, and burrowed in my heart unexpectedly
How our legs just intertwine
Don't move a muscle, you'll be fine
It's not a glitch it's just divine
From our hearts just beating in time

Oh how I love you, don't let go I don't want control
Of this life, I'd like to drive it, to unify it, and that's the truth
Oh our love, is no longer whispering out, it's starting to shout
Don't you dare hold it back
Don't you want to be loud, come on make a sound,
Clasp my body around, bring to me to the ground
With your arms, won't hold me close and say,
From the depths of your throat, all the things we want today
