I’d Rather Be a Ghost Lyrics by Semler

Late Bloomer - EP

2021

[Verse 1]
I don’t wanna be here
But I don’t wanna die
I don’t like the body you see me inside
I’d rather be a ghost
That everyone could see
A phantom and a friend whenever you need
I wouldn’t have to sweat
Or find a fitting room
Or go through TSA to fly and see you

[Chorus]
What’s a body but a cage
That keeps me weak
It keeps me strange

[Verse 2]
I don’t wanna be here
I don’t wanna be seen
I’d feel so much better as a ghost under a sheet

[Chorus]
What’s a body but a cage
That keeps me weak
It keeps me strange

[Verse 3]
Let me be your ghost dear
I’d haunt you so nice
What a heavеnly way to spend an afterlife
I’m not at homе here honey
I’m not at home here honey
I’m not at home here honey
I’m not at home here honey

[Chorus]
What’s a body but a cage
That keeps me weak
It keeps me strange
