lyrics

There's a bird outside singing in the key of D
It fit so right, i'd swear he wrote it for me
The truth is that he wrote it for a girl
Whose name I can't remember anymore

There's this ghost I've known for all of my short life
Who swears everyday that he's going to find a life
Pick some skin and help us get by
Love us all and stop those fucking lies

That ghost outside he hums a long with me
Repeats everything we say, and says it was he
He's never told the truth before in his life
I'm exaggerating, maybe once or twice

There's this girl in my face and she's crying about me
I could say something but I think I like what I see
She says she's done all that she knows to do
I could cry with her but then she'd know the truth

There's this teacher who taught me since the day I was born
Fed by a spoon and played me like a horn
Until the day the girl she made sense
"To love a ghost" is all in present tense
