Lyrics
I am listening to your voice
I am actively paying attention to the sound of your voice.
I am trying to hear it’s key
I am attempting to discern the musical key or emotional tone of your voice.
I will talk to you about choice
I am willing to discuss matters related to making choices.
To put your song in me
To internalize and deeply understand your song.
I am going to say your name
I am going to verbally express your name.
Oh my ghost, if ghost you be
Addressing a mysterious presence, possibly a ghost, and questioning its existence.
Please do not show me your face
Requesting not to reveal the identity of the ghost, especially its face.
But come inside of me
Inviting the ghost to be part of the speaker's inner self.
I will let you disappear
Willing to let the ghost fade away or become unseen.
So long, so long
An expression of farewell, acknowledging the departure of the ghost.
But I’m giving you my ear
Despite parting ways, the speaker is still attentive and open to the ghost's influence.
To play your songs
Offering one's attention to allow the ghost to express itself through music.
If you want to stay a while
Inviting the ghost to stay for a longer duration.
This way, this way
Guiding the ghost on how to remain present.
You can use my body now
Granting permission for the ghost to use the speaker's body as a vessel for expression.
To play to play
Reiterating the permission for the ghost to play music through the speaker's body.
I was writing you these songs
Reflection on past efforts of writing songs for the ghost.
I had used to sing to me
Recalling a time when the speaker used to sing to themselves.
To stop wishing in my sleep
A desire to stop daydreaming or wishing during sleep.
To bring you dreams
Expressing the hope that dreams will bring the ghost into the speaker's life.
To bring you into dreams.
Further emphasis on the desire for the ghost to be present in dreams.
