A Ghost

Line by line we drew it up Had our fill and threw it up Wrote the will and tore it up I can't even say why All my past is shoring up Beating on my door won't stop Couldn't lie so I made it up And I can't even say why I can't even say why And I wonder as I walk away Did I ever love it all the way Did I open up my heart and say it like I mean it From the end right to the start From seeing to believing Oh but I saw a ghost In the mirror coming near A little close for comfort tonight He said "It's easier to be alive Than hide under your pillow While your life is passing you by" One by one they carry us Break our hearts and marry us Dig us up then bury us I wish I could say why All my past is sure enough Beating on my door has stopped Couldn't lie so I make it up That I don't even know why I don't even know why And I wonder as I walk away Did I ever love it all the way Did I open up my heart and say it like I mean it From the end right to the start From seeing to believing Oh but I saw a ghost In the mirror coming near A little close for comfort tonight He said "It's easier to be alive Than hide under your pillow While your life is passing you by" So live your life Don't waste your time Oh live your life Don't waste your time I saw a ghost in the mirror coming nearer I saw a ghost in the mirror, in the mirror Ooh I saw a ghost In the mirror coming near A little close for comfort tonight Ooh he said it's easier to be alive Than hide under your pillow While your life is passing you by So live your life, ooh Oh, oh --- A Ghost - Travis
