Kiss Away My Ghost

The porch light flickers on this lonely dirt road

Got a heart full of thunder and a backseat load of old ghosts

You say my name like a prayer, but it cuts me clean through

So don’t tell me you love me, I’ll just disappear on you

Just hold me close and kiss these ghosts away

Don’t tell me you love me, just hold me through the rain

Kiss my ghosts away, let me breathe through the pain

I want to be yours, but I’m scared of the flame

I’m drowning again, and I don’t know my name

I keep my words in my pocket like a knife I won’t pull

’Cause I’m scared of that deep water, scared of giving too much

Been lost in the dark so long I forgot how to stay

I want to fall in your arms, but I’m afraid I’ll wash away

If you hear the fear in me, don’t let go tonight just hold me and " kiss away my ghost,"

The porch light trembles in the blood-red rain

I got a heart full of thunder and a throat full of pain

You say you love me, but I can't let it stay

If you tell me too much, I’ll just walk away

So hold me close and let the night do the rest

Kiss these ghosts from my chest

Don’t tell me you love me, just hold me tonight

Kiss my ghosts away till they fade from sight

I want to be yours, but I’m scared of the fall

If love is a river, I’m afraid of it all, don't say a word just hold me tonight and kiss away my ghost I can't swim

Baby I been lost in the hollows where the cold wind moans

Scared of your hands, scared of my own bones

I keep the words I’m longing to say locked down

'Cause I’m afraid of drowning again when love comes around I can't swim

Hold me and kiss away my ghost

Don’t ask for forever, just stay till the dawn

Let me breathe in your silence, let me lean on your love

Don’t tell me you love me, just hold me tonight

Kiss my ghosts away till they fade from sight

I want to be yours, but I’m scared of the fall

If love is a river, I’m afraid of it allSo I stand in the dark where the sorrow can breathe

Wanting your touch while I’m learning to leave

Don’t tell me you love me, just hold me through the rain

Kiss my ghosts away, let me breathe through the pain

I want to be yours, but I’m scared of the flame

I’m drowning again, and I don’t know my nameSo hold me like a memory before it slips away

And kiss my ghosts away till the morning breaks,don't tell me you love me I'll be gone with the morning sun,baby don't tell me you love me just hold me tonight and kiss away my ghost
