Ghosts Lyrics by Gabrielle Aplin

Acoustic EP

2010

[Verse 1]
I'm sick and tired of hangin' out my window
I've learnt from past experience, rain can't make flowers grow
Friends don't stick around, they go which way the wind blows
You're never safe and sound till all the doors are closed

[Pre-Chorus]
Doors closed
Doors closed

[Chorus]
When you're awake and your own shadows turn into ghosts
When you're awake and your own shadows turn into ghosts
Oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Soon it will all fall apart and the roads will have no way
And you'll be the one laughin' as the fences fade away
And instead of bein' left there, feelin' all alone
Break down the house you made of matchsticks and set fire to the throne

[Pre-Chorus]
To the throne
To the throne

[Chorus]
When you're awake and your own shadows turn into ghosts
When you're awake and your own shadows turn into ghosts

[Post-Chorus]
Home becomes what you're scared of the most
Home becomes what you're scared of the most
When shadows turn into ghosts
It's what you're scared of the most

[Bridge]
I'm pullin' pictures off the wall, watching smiles as they fall
I'm pullin' pictures off the wall, watching smiles as they fall
I'm pullin' pictures off the wall, watching smiles as they fall
Pullin' pictures off the wall
I'm pullin' pictures off the wall, watching smiles as they fall

[Chorus]
When you're awake and your own shadows turn into ghosts
When you're awake and your own shadows turn into ghosts

[Post-Chorus]
Home becomes what you're scared of the most
Home becomes what you're scared of the most
When shadows turn into ghosts
It's what you're scared of the most
