Host of a Ghost
Porter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I insist that you are no long my lover
You passed out and I didn't even noticed
I think in position when I see your eyes
Freud will be very, very, very mad

So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so
Sorry, you're gone
So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so
Deep in my mind

(Lovely) lovely, lovely time's nothing but
(Lovely) lovely, lovely time's nothing but
(Lovely) lovely, lovely time's nothing but
(Lovely, lovely love) just God, mom and myself

A host of a ghost
You're a host of a ghost
You're a host, you're a host of a ghost
You're a host of a ghost, of a ghost, of a ghost

(Lovely) lovely, lovely time's nothing but
(Lovely) lovely, lovely time's nothing but
(Lovely) lovely, lovely time's nothing but
(Lovely) lovely, lovely time's nothing but (lovely time)

You're a host of a ghost
You're a host of a ghost
You're a host of a ghost
You're a host, oh-oh-oh

You're a host of a ghost
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh of a ghost




You're a host of a ghost, you're a host of a ghost
Of a ghost, of a ghost, of a ghost, of a ghost, of a ghost

Tengo 30. Prácticamente la mitad de mi vida ha estado junto con Porter. Tenía 17 y estaba en preparatoria cuando los conocí. Escucharlos me remueve todo, desde el estómago y va subiendo hasta al pecho. No sé cómo describirlo. No puedo creer cuántos años han pasado. Es una banda que siempre llevaré conmigo. Tan personal que por ellos les puse Daphne a mi hija.

Me recuerda tanto a mis épocas de prepa, ir en el bus, con los audífonos puestos, era lo más. Ahora soy mamá y amo a mi hija, pero extraño poder caminar sin preocupaciones, solo con el frio de la mañana, el uniforme, y un día más.
