Ghosts
Andrei Eremin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been shaped by a protocol,
And I've been shaped before.
And I've been encased by a broken wall,
And I've been chased by wars.

I will wait for the sun to fall,
'Till I smell your skin.
I've been waiting for phones to call,
I will wear you thin.

I would walk till the feet are worn,
Just to lure you in.
I will break your pending fall,
I am steeped in sin.

Did you need a reason?
Did you need a warning?
Did I need to tell you,
"Run the other way"?
I am not a villain,
I am not assuring,
I am just a stumbling block misplaced.

I swear I will want you for days.
I swear I will want you for days.

I've been shaped by a protocol,
And I've been shaped before.




And I've been encased by a broken wall,
And I've been chased by wars.
