Ghost Stories

"numb" is about a deep platonic friendship, the kind that in some ways is more intense that any romantic relationship. "i feel everything four million times more than anyone else-
Very, very sensitive," admits ghost, as she reveals the personal story behind "numb." "it's all about not wanting to feel what i felt, wanting to anesthetize myself to the re
Nship. but the irony is that i did [feel it], of course, otherwise i wouldn't have written the song. when you're going out with someone and it's not working out, you're like, 'okay, finished, ov
T's gone.' with friendships, you can't do that, you can't just go, 'it's over, it's finished.' you always just have to keep working on it. the person i wrote that about is the person i love most
He world. i love him more than anyone in my life, any lover i've ever had. they bring great things to you, but for every luxury, there's a heartache, there's a price to pay."

I didn't notice you
Didn't have a point of view
All the things that mattered then
Only really hit me when i saw that inside you were scared

Lying on a bed of nails
Build me up to watch me fail
All the ones that went before
Never really wanted more than you were not willing to give

Chorus
I'm falling down
Can't see the truth
I know the hell that you've been through
I'm falling out of love with you
But i'll find defences
I'll try to care less
Won't someone help me feel numb

Felt the sting of acid rain
Sweet messiah come again sitting on my pedestal
I never really felt at all that i'm the same person as you
I'm falling down
Can't see the truth
I know the hell that you've been through
I'm walking side by side with you
But i'll find defences
I'll try to care less
Won't someone help me feel numb

I'll find defences
I'll try to care less
Won't someone help me feel numb

"the wrong man" is about every man ghost has ever been involved with

Perfect is tonight
It's opened up to find
No matter what i say you're a substitute for my pride
It's terriable to see
A new accessory
No matter what i say you're just filling a void in me

Chorus:
It's better to know the girl inside
You're always running towards the needs that you recognise
It's better to leave the love behind
'cause you're the wrong man, at the wrong time
In my life

You don't
You don't
You won't
You won't belong

Wasted is today
Another pill to take
I know the hate is equal to the love we make
To you i don't belong
When the trust has gone
I know the games we play aren't fooling anyone

Repeat chorus

i can see it
I can feel it rushing in my veins
I don't like it
I don't hide it
See it in my face
But i don't want to wait
For i have lost my faith

Chorus:
Why can't i find myself an idol?
Somebody that i can look up to
Be big enough to hold me close in their arms
And never let me down
And all these stupid conversations
That always seem to lead to nowhere
Thery're going 'round and 'round and round in my head
And they'll be back again.
They're coming back again
It's not fair how
I still care now
We were always alone.
Honesty and modesty
Will never find my home
But i will never say
When i have lost my way

(repeat chorus)

You take it
You take it
And throw it away

"glory girl" is about amanda's older sister

I heard a song today
Reminded me of spain
We were the innocent in springtime
I never liked you much
We never keep in touch
I know your stories from the grapevine
And though i found it strange
To watch the change
When what you couldn't say was
Look at me, look at me

Chorus
My glory, glory girl
Help me to find a way to know you
Let's show the world
My glory girl
Hide not behind the words that bind you
You don't owe the world
My glory girl
Let's show the world

I heard you say today
You've thrown your life away
But dreams of happiness aren't wasted
You tried to reach the moon
You grew up too soon
Denied the freedom that you tasted
But all the tragedy helps me discover you

Repeat chorus

Repeat chorus

This song is about music industry executives

It must be wonderful
To think you know it all
It must be beautiful
To really believe in you

Chorus
But i am constatly waiting
I'm looking for your soul
I am constantly praying
I've come looking for you, looking for you
Blind man
You do what you can
You do what you can to be superman
Blind man
I'll do what i can.
I'll do what i can
To make you believe

You must be thrilled to bits
The happy hypocrite
And when you're out of it
The whole world is with you too

Repeat chorus
