Give Up The Ghost
C2C Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the gho-oh-ost

I'm sorry if I didn't match your wishes
Maybe if we sleep on it tonight
There's a chance that when we wake up in the monring
We'll see it clearly in another light

Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the gho-oh-ost

Give up the gho-oh-ost

Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost




Give up the ghost
Give up the gho-oh-ost
