Ghost
Rogue Wave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to hammer trees
you know I like it
we used the bend the risers
and the maple leaves
you know I like it
because it's you to wonder
how I drive
because it's you I wanted
for now
we used the burn the lamplight
on the rainy Sundays
you know I like it
I want to drive the highway
I want to feel the breeze
you know I like it
because it's you to be
my ageless ghost
because it's you I wanted
for now
say you want it my heart
