Lyrics
Like a ghost don't need a key
Comparing oneself to a ghost, suggesting independence and not requiring access.
Your best friend I've come to be
Expressing a close, supportive relationship, becoming the best friend.
Please don't think of getting up for me
Discouraging the idea of making an effort for the speaker's sake.
You don't even need to speak
Highlighting the depth of understanding, indicating no need for verbal communication.
When I've been here for just one day
Emphasizing the impact of the speaker's short presence on the listener.
You'll already miss me if I go away
Anticipating the listener's sense of loss if the speaker leaves.
So close the blinds and shut the door
Encouraging isolation by closing off external influences.
You won't need other friends anymore
Suggesting the speaker as the only needed companion.
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
Repetition of the plea not to leave home, emphasizing attachment.
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
Promising comfort and warmth in times of emotional coldness.
If you're low, just hold on
Encouraging resilience and holding on during difficult moments.
'Cause I will be your safety
Committing to being a source of safety for the listener.
Oh, don't leave home
Reiteration of the plea not to leave home, emphasizing dependency.
And I arrived when you were weak
Entering the listener's life during vulnerability, implying a protective role.
I'll make you weaker, like a child
Intending to make the listener emotionally dependent, akin to a child.
Now all your love you give to me
Claiming the entirety of the listener's love for the speaker.
When your heart is all I need
Emphasizing the importance of the listener's heart to the speaker.
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
Repetition of the plea not to leave home, underlining emotional necessity.
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm

And if you're low, just hold on
Encouraging the listener to endure and persevere through tough times.
'Cause I will be your safety
Reiterating the commitment to being a safety net for the listener.
Oh, don't leave home
Repetition of the plea not to leave home, emphasizing security.
Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
Reflecting on the quietness of the world when shared intimately.
When it's just you and little me
Describing an intimate setting with the speaker and the listener.
Everything is clear, and everything is new
Portraying clarity and novelty when together, implying a reluctance to part.
So you won't be leaving, will you?
Seeking assurance that the listener won't leave.
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
