Something To Believe In
Late Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stand up, I just saw you

Like a shadow in the distance

Cautiously I slowly start to breathe

Slowly taste you in the air
You're just a ghost

Invisible

You're just a ghost

Stand up, because I'm not alone here

I can feel you floating through me

Should this be a new disease of me

Planning intoxication?

Cautiously I start to lose my feet

As you're breathing down my neck

You're just a ghost

Invisible

You're just a ghost

I feel lost, when you're here

So surprising, how did you find me?

And all I want is the truth

You're just a ghost

Invisible

You're just a ghost

I feel lost, when you're here

So surprising, how did you find me?

And all I want is the truth

But you're just a ghost

But you're just a ghost





Yeah, you're just a ghost
