I Believe
Ghost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the same old song that I always sing each year
But just because it's perennial doesn't make it less real
And I believe that you could be what I need to believe
I believe
Oh it just keeps coming 'round again
To just keeps coming 'round again

The conclusion I need is easily reached with you
You have given me all and there's nothing left to do
And I believe that you could be what I need to believe
I believe
Oh it just keeps coming 'round again
To just keeps coming 'round again

I believe you could be
What I need to believe
I believe you could be
What I need to believe
I believe you could be
What I need to believe
I believe you could be
What I need to believe
I believe you could be
What I need to believe
I believe you could be
What I need to believe
I believe you could be
What I need to believe




I believe you could be
What I need to believe
