Ghost
Fefe Dobson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just like a go-go-go-ghost (go)
Watch me go-go-go-ghost

Now I'm gone in your photograph
I bet you wish you could get me back (get me back)
Now I'm stuck in your memory (memory)
A mistaken identity ('dentity)
What's her name?
What's she like?
Does she know that you'll never treat her right?
What's her name?
What's she like?
Do you leave her in the middle of the night?

You act like you just saw a ghost
I watch you getting way too close
Now I know why you're never there (never there)
Now I know so it's my turn to disappear (disappear)
You act like you just saw a ghost
I caught you (caught you)
Now I know
Now I know why you're never there (never there)
Now it's my turn, watch me disappear

Just like a go-go-go-ghost (go)
Watch me go-go-go-ghost

The only gift that you ever gave (ever gave)
Was that you let me just get away (get away)
I hope I haunt you in every dream (every dream)
And you feel a little misery (misery)

What's her name?
What's she like?
I should warn her that you'll never do her right
All your games
All your lies
I need to tell her, maybe I can change her mind

You act like you just saw a ghost
I watch you getting way too close
Now I know why you're never there (never there)
Now I know so it's my turn to disappear (disappear)
You act like you just saw a ghost
I caught you (caught you)
Now I know
Now I know why you're never there (never there)
Now it's my turn, watch me disappear

Just like a go-go-go-ghost (go)
Watch me go-go-go-ghost (go)
Just like a go-go-go-ghost (go)
Watch me go-go-go-ghost (go)

Now you see me
Now you don't
You must've thought I'd never go
I'm dead to you, I'm taking back my soul

You act like you just saw a ghost (saw a ghost)
I watch you getting way too close
Now I know why you're never there (never there)
Now I know so it's my turn to disappear (disappear)
You act like you just saw a ghost
I caught you (caught you)
Now I know
Now I know why you're never there (never there)
Now it's my turn, watch me disappear

Just like a go-go-go-ghost (go)
Watch me go-go-go-ghost (go)
Just like a go-go-go-ghost (go)
Watch me go-go-go-ghost
Just like a go-go-go-ghost (go)
Watch me go-go-go-ghost (go)




Just like a go-go-go-ghost (go)
Watch me go-go-go-ghost (go)
