The Ghost In Your Smile
Jarle Skavhellen Lyrics

If you poke
If you challenge me or push me to my limit,

My glass eye
The part of me that is false or broken and needs to be repaired or replaced,

I'll be the ghost
I'll become the memory or the haunting presence in your life,

In your smile
In the place where you seem the happiest or the most content,

I'll be the black tooth
I'll be the imperfection or the flaw in whatever is supposed to be perfect or beautiful,

In your Hollywood grin
In the fake or superficial facade that you present to the world,

I'm a mosquito
I'm an annoying and persistently buzzing presence in your life,

On your lips saying grace
In the moments of silence or prayer, I'll be the annoying thought that interrupts your concentration or focus,

You know you
You are aware and conscious of the fact that,

Want it bad
You have a strong desire or craving for something,

Driven by lust
Motivated or controlled by your strong sexual desires or impulses,

And whatever's left of motor skills
Even if the only thing you have control over is your physical movements or actions,

I can't make out
I can't clearly understand or hear what you're saying,

... Saying
Whatever you're trying to communicate, express or convey,

But I love the way
But I enjoy or appreciate the manner or style in which,

You keep repeating it
You keep saying or doing something over and over again, without getting tired or bored of it.

If you poke
If you challenge me or push me to my limit,

My glass eye
The part of me that is false or broken and needs to be repaired or replaced,

I'll be the ghost
I'll become the memory or the haunting presence in your life,

In your smile
In the place where you seem the happiest or the most content,

I'll be the ghost
I'll become the memory or the haunting presence in your life.
