lyrics

I stand beside you outside of the bar as you,
Smoke the ghosts out of your cigarette
My hands are stinging it's an awfully cold autumn but the air that i'm breathing is warming my lungs!
The scent it reminds me of formative kisses, hidden secret round the back of my house,
I know I could kiss you, yes I could physically do but I'm scared what might happen if I took you home so I don't..
So I don't... Don't.. I don't!

So I walk home alone and see singular stars,
Caped in the vapours warmed by my heart.
It's the coldest of nights that the ghosts will come out,
Tearing and seathing right out of my mouth.
My foolish footsteps still echo in time, I was different then I thought I was a fire.
I have as many ghosts as mistakes I have made and on so many streets I am haunted by them..
My ghosts, my ghosts.. Ghosts!
My ghosts..!

And it makes me sick! To think of myself!
Back in their beds, with all of the things - that I could have said and all of the things that I should have said..
But I thought I could trust you!
Yes, I thought I could trust you!
