[Verse 1]
The hallway leans when I walk through
Old paint peels like a secret too
Little girl in the crack of the frame
With a hand on the glass, saying my name
The floorboards count every step I take
And the air tastes sweet like a buried cake
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the clock go slow
I feel you pull me low
Your shadow skips the wall
Then disappears in the fall
[Chorus]
Ghost haunt, ghost haunt
Don’t let go, don’t let go
Ghost haunt, ghost haunt
In the house, you own my soul
Little girl, little girl
With your dark little grin
Ghost haunt, ghost haunt
Till the doors break in
[Verse 2]
There’s a doll in the stairwell light
One black eye and a chipped white smile
Your dress hangs dry on a nail in the hall
Like you never left here at all
You circle me twice, then you vanish fast
Leave cold little fingerprints on the glass
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the clock go slow
I feel you pull me low
Your shadow skips the wall
Then disappears in the fall
[Chorus]
Ghost haunt, ghost haunt
Don’t let go, don’t let go
Ghost haunt, ghost haunt
In the house, you own my soul
Little girl, little girl
With your dark little grin
Ghost haunt, ghost haunt
Till the doors break in
[Bridge]
I found your name under dust in the floor
Found four tiny shoes by the pantry door
You weren’t lost, you were waiting for play
Now you tug at my sleeve, then you lead me away
[Chorus]
Ghost haunt, ghost haunt
Don’t let go, don’t let go
Ghost haunt, ghost haunt
In the house, you own my soul
Little girl, little girl
With your dark little grin
Ghost haunt, ghost haunt
Till the doors break in
