Lyrics
This isn't quite the happy end
This marks a deviation from the expected happy ending.
I always dreamt about
The dream of being in a particular place or situation.
Standing in your empty room
Being in an empty room associated with the person.
To watch the sun go down
Observing the sunset in that space.
And I didn't mind at first
Initially, there was no concern about the person's absence.
Your longing reverie
The person's deep contemplation or daydream.
Now in every floorboard creek
Perceiving the person's presence in subtle sounds.
I swear I hear you breathe
Sensing the person's breath in the creaking floorboards.
I thought you were gone with the wind
Initially believing the person had departed.
But now I can hear your voice on quiet nights
Hearing the person's voice during silent nights.
When there's no one there except the crescent moon
Loneliness with only the moon as company.
This isn't a ghost story yet
Denying that the situation is a ghost story yet.
But it might become one soon if you keep on whispering
Warning that it may become a ghost story with continued whispers.
And I don't wanna hear one about you
Expressing a desire not to hear a ghost story about the person.
And as the candlelight burns low
Feeling discomfort as the candlelight diminishes.
My skin begins to crawl
Physical unease as shadows move in the surroundings.
Shadows dance in picture frames
Shadows playing in picture frames.
And pace through vacant halls
Shadows moving through empty halls.
I thought you were gone with the wind
Reiterating the belief that the person had left.
But now I can hear your voice on quiet nights
Hearing the person's voice despite earlier beliefs.
When there's no one there except the crescent moon
Nights with only the crescent moon and the person's voice.
This isn't a ghost story yet
Insisting that it's not yet a ghost story.
But it might become one soon if you keep on whispering
Warning that it might become a ghost story with continued whispers.
And I don't wanna hear one about you
Reiterating the reluctance to hear a ghost story about the person.
So this is how it feels to lose your mind?
Questioning the experience of losing one's mind.
That tapping at my window
Noticing unsettling sounds outside the window.
Those shivers down my spine aren't here to stay
Temporary discomfort that will be overcome.
I'll leave them all behind
Determined to leave behind unsettling feelings.
You've never kept your distance
Acknowledging the person's consistent closeness.
For once I'm keepin' mine
Choosing to maintain distance from the person.
I thought you were gone with the wind
Repeating the belief in the person's departure.
But now I can hear your voice on quiet nights
Hearing the person's voice even in the absence of others.
When there's no one there except the crescent moon
Lonely nights with only the crescent moon and the person's voice.
