There's a ghost in my bedroom, it haunts me at night.
I've asked him to leave, but he keeps stopping by.
Just when I think that I'm alone, it shows up again with her friend this time.
And now this is getting old.
I don't know what to do.
Metaphorically, this ghost is you.
Now this ghost in my bedroom that gives me advice,
It promised one day that it'd teach me to fight.
Now when I think that I'm alone, he comes up my way with a devil's smile singing,
"This is now my home. You're my wish come true."
When you reach that golden crown, I'll be there with you.
If there were monsters in the closet,
Well, I don't think I would be surprised.
I hear them crawl out from my window,
They try to trick me to come outside.
(I won't let you down)
We talked all day,
I can't tell if he's real or a made-up version of her again.
Never alone 'cause I've got you.
Get this out of my head.
Don't let me waste away my love onto something new.
If there's only one way out, I'll come back for you.
If I could stop count there forever,
Tell everyone that I said goodbye.
You're on my lifelong list of wishes,
And I could bring you back, but we don't belong here now.
If he stays, well that just means I have good numbered days
'Til I get back to my little home where it's just me and my imaginary friends.

So go out and love, find a new direction,
(You're my heart, keep it for protection).
And don't get stuck on your way.
The other side's a scary place.
(Do your best not to afraid),
Lose it all when we run away.
(Let it go, all the little things you know that I do).
There's a ghost in my bedroom, and he's dying to meet you,
(Ahh, ahh).
God knows he's heard all about you.

I guess he's friendly enough though.
I'll see him more,
(There's a ghost in my bedroom)
He's seeking love,
(Ahh, ahh).
He's in your bed, says he won't let you down.
He will, he will, he will.
(There's a ghost in my bedroom),
(Ahh, ahh).
(He will, he will, he will),
(When the world won't let you go, when the world won't let you go). [x2]
Slowly, slowly how can I go down?
I want you to notice when I let go.
Slowly, slowly how can I come down?
I want you to notice when I let go.
(There's a ghost in my bedroom),
(Ahh, ahh).
