Ghosts at my doorstep 2 (version 2)

Verse

They come to me through the walls at midnight

Shadows on my ceiling, eyes that never quit

Whispers of what I gave away

Fingers tracing lines where love used to sit

I lock the door but they don't leave

Same old footsteps in the dark of my mind

Pre-Chorus

Is this a guest or a thief?

Do I let them stay or chase them out of time?

One more ghost is not enough

But every one of you feels like home to me now

Chorus

Ghosts at my doorstep, holding hands with the floor

Every shadow knows something I've never known before

I'll keep the door open for whatever walks through

Because that's where I come from — in me, it will still be true

Verse 2

They come to me through the phone when it rings and dies

A number gone but they're still here, standing right beside me

Whispers of what I said out loud

Fingers tracing the shape of your eyes

I hang up fast but they don't leave

Same old voices in my mind tonight

Pre-Chorus

Is this a ghost or a friend?

Do I let them stay until the end?

One more step into the dark is one more right to take

Because every single one of you feels like home

Chorus

Ghosts at my doorstep, holding hands with the floor

Every shadow knows something I've never known before

I'll keep the door open for whatever walks through

Because that's where I come from — in me, it will still be true

Bridge

Maybe this is not about leaving or being alone

Maybe this is just where the light starts to call home

So I won't chase them away

Not tonight, not ever, because they know me best

I'm made of ghosts and every single one loves me best

Chorus

Ghosts at my doorstep, holding hands with the floor

Every shadow knows something I've never known before

I'll keep the door open for whatever walks through

Because that's where I come from — in me, it will still be true
