lyrics
Verse 1
You're like a specter
floating through my halls
and I don't know what to do
You're like a specter i can see right through
the ghost of the former you
Verse 2
I don't expect her
to come around here
no more like she used to
With all these conjectures and nameless fears
I don't know who I'm talking to
Chorus 1
Come back to life for me
I'll lay mine down for you
Verse 3
I'm just a talker to a spirit walker
I have trouble getting through
The darkness surrounds
but a light can be found
If you change your point of view
Chorus 2
Come back to life for me
I'll lay mine down for you

no more like she used to
With all these conjectures and nameless fears
