[Verse 1]
I can't remember your face
It's been so long since Friday night
When I was 25 and complicated
But now I can't forget the way you kissed me
Eyes closed, silhouette
Left and leaving
Still singin' us to sleep
[Chorus]
Tiptoe around you now
I'm your lover's ghost, years forgotten
Faded, just out of sight
In the corner of your eye
Let me go
[Verse 2]
Each clue I left for you to find
A piece of me in everything
An out of season [?]
A stone where it doesn't belong
In the bluеr skies I see your eyes
Evеry time, do you see mine?
In Chicago
And now we're behind
[Chorus]
Tiptoe around you now
I'm your lover's ghost, years forgotten
Faded, just out of sight
In the corner of your eye
Let me go
[Bridge]
But, if you're not here
What's that voice I'm hearing ringing in my ears?
And I avert my eyes
'Til I saw stars and watched the fog begin to rise
If I'm still alive
You're the one who's gone
And I can't remember where and when it all went wrong
So please
Take me at my word
Lord, make me a bird
So I can fly back home to you
[Chorus]
Tiptoe around you now
You're my lover's ghost, not forgotten
Faded, just out of sight
In the corner of my eye
[Interlude]
Well, here's the thing
It's a weird way to live your life
I mean, it's a big world out there
