Ghost Stories

Chantal Kreviazuk Ghost Stories Lyrics
1.Ghosts Of You

We were occupied
And never had to go outside
I was your alibi
We were planning our escape
We stayed up all night
With Lucy in the diamond sky
We drank cheap brand whine
And talked ourselves to sleep

Please don't go
These ghosts of you
The only thing that helped get me through the day
Baby please don't go
Cause I love you
You're the only one that will stay the same

We could laugh out loud
And sing until the sun came out
We took a secret vow
That we would never change
You always loved to dance
I wish we had another chance
To go back in time
And do it all again

Please don't go

These ghosts of you
The only thing that helped get me through the day
Oh baby please don't go
Cause I love you
You're the only one that will stay the same

I don't wanna live forever
But if we could be together
Than I wouldn't mind infinity
I don't wanna live forever
But I can still remember
No I wouldn't mind infinity

Please don't go
These ghosts of you
The only thing that helped get me through the day
Baby please don't go
Cause I love you
You're the only one that will stay the same
Baby please don't go
These ghosts of you
The only thing that helped get me through the day
Baby please don't go
Cause I love you
You're the only one that will stay the same


2.All I Can Do

When you're on your own
When you're at a fork in the road
You don't know which way to go
There's too many signs and arrows
You haven't laughed in a while
When you can't even fake a smile
When you feel ashamed
The uniform don't make you brave

Chorus:

All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long and the night is coming down on you
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do

When you forget your name
the pleasure can't disguise your pain
and you don't feel the same
I won't forget the love you made

Chorus:

All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long and the night is coming down on you
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do

What a lovely day to shape your dreams
And you don't even have to sleep
You can make it what you want to be
You can fly away
You can change your name
Have a happy face
It can be so real

Chorus:

All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long and the night is coming down on you
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do
It's all that I can do


3.Spoke In Tongues

I don't mean to get into your dreams
But you seem to think it's alright to destroy
You became such an opportunist somewhat dim
It's a bad combination

You can't ever erase that you were not
Popular in school
Can't erase you were poor and a no one
You can't ever erase who you were no matter what you become
I know where you're from
And that you spoke in tongues

I know you're really just hurt and afraid
But you pretend that nothing gets to you

I'm not the kind to dance on a grave
But you're the one who bought me these dancing shoes

You can't ever erase that you were not
Popular in school
Can't erase you were poor and a no one
You can't ever erase who you were no matter what you become
I know where you're from

I can still remeber the day
When we first met and I saw myself in you
I don't mean to rain on your parade but the sky's getting dark
And there's nothing that you can do


4.Mad About You

Don't you want to get to know me well
Don't lie to me cause I can always tell
When you're feeling strange
I know you

There's no point in banging any blame
The mind is powerful it loves to play
Games that don't come with any rules

I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Every line does me good
I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Every line does me good

I know it's not the way we planned
I love it when yo take my hand

And kiss me and then just hold still
You fill me with all your energy
Your poisons, antidotes and sympathies
In a place that no one could ever fill

An you won't be alone when you sleep tonight
Cause I worry, oh I'm worrying too
But the ocean sends waves to the beach so we'll play
And to clean all the water up too

I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Every line does me good
I'm mad about you
Overwhelmed
Every line does me good
Every line on you face does me good


5.So Cold


6.Waiting For The Sun

I don't need to be forgiven
And I don't want your sympathy
It's a mad, mad world
But it's still turning

Don't want to get too complicated
But it gets so dark that I can't see
Yeah it's a mad mad world
But I'm hoping

I'm waiting for the sun to shine

I'll wait until the day I die

I'm tired of living in the shadows
But I'm not giving up on me
Yeah it's a sad sad world
But I'm waiting

I can't worry about tomorrow
Or what each new day's gonna bring
'Cause every dark cloud has a silver lining


7.You Blame Yourself

I don't know why the winter's so long
It wears me out
It goes on and on
Yah I don't know why the winter's so long
It seems never ending
It goes on and on

I know you blame yourself but don't

I don't know why this town is so small
It makes me mad
I've seen it all
Yah I don't know why this town is so small
There's nobody left here
Everyone's gone


8.Grow Up So Fast

It's mothers birthday,she's forty years.
And I don't know what to say.

Buy her roses and cry her tears,
And she'll just give them away.
Maybe I'll fight it.
Maybe I'll fight it.

Why'd I have to grow up so fast?
I just want to stay here and laugh.
Oh we only, oh we only blew away.

You were wearing my favorite dress,
When you left that day.
But yellow covers your photograph,
You come to me in waves.
Baby,I'll find her.
Baby, I'll find her.

Why'd I have to grow up so fast?
I just want to stay here and laugh.
Oh we only, oh we only blew away.

I don't want to be the one who has to be afraid.
I don't want to be the one who feels so afraid.
I just want to be the one to make you smile.
And kiss your face.

It's mothers birthday, she's forty years.
I don't know what to say.

Why'd I have to grow up so fast?
I just want to stay here and laugh.
Oh we only, oh we only blow away.
Why'd I have to grow up so fast?
I just want to stay here and laugh.
Oh we only...


9.Wonderful

I'm alone in this life
And these old jeans are too tight
And now I can't pick my feet off the floor
I try to laugh but I cry
My dignity is undignified
Guess I'm really on my own
Love is like a little boy, no I'm not paranoid
But I'm on to you, yeah, yeah
Well I'm not 17 and I don't want to be
So why am I hiding

Is it too late to call you on the phone
Too late to tell you I'm alone
I want to wake you from another lonely night
Too late to wonder where you are
Too late to hold you in my arms
Because if your looking for wonderful
I'm wonderful

I'm a very simple girl
And I don't fit into this world
The city lights leave me in a daze
And even though we've never met
You know that I'm trying to forget
Somethings you can't change

Is it too late to call you on the phone

Too late to tell you I'm alone
I want to wake you from another lonely night
Too late to wonder where you are
Too late to hold you in my arms
Because if you're looking for wonderful
I'm wonderful

I'm underneath
Underneath
I'm underneath
I'm underneath

Is it too late to call you on the phone
Too late to tell you I'm alone
I want to wake you from another lonely night
Too late to wonder where you are
Too late to hold you in my arms
Because if you're looking for wonderful

Is it too late to call you on the phone
Too late to tell you I'm alone
I want to wake you from another lonely night
Too late to wonder where you are
Too late to hold you in my arms
Because if you're looking for wonderful
I'm wonderful


10.Asylum

I get so blind, from all of these colours.
Dressed up like kings and queens, but it don't mean a thing.
A killer I'm not, murderers get caught. If I'm such a criminal,
then take me away!

Well I get so tired, of the word on the wire.
It's all so black and white, but how quickly it fades.
We eat food for thought, and forget what we've got.
She was a prisoner, now an alien.

Chorus: Over the ocean, a world away.
Ghosts from her home, asylum, can't chase away.

Oooooooooo...

Chorus (x2)

Ahhhhhh...


11.Wendy House

A child is born
A life begins
To take and hurt
A precious gift

When I'm along
it all hits home
Don't it all just seem a little much
When I'm along
it all hits home
Don't it all just seem a little much

And the night gets further from the day
Take me to your Wendy house to play

A child is born
A life begins
To take and hurt
A precious gift

When I'm along
it all hits home
Don't it all just seem a little much
When I'm along
it all hits home
Don't it all just seem a little much

And the night gets further from the day
Take me to your Wendy house to play

When I'm along
it all hits home
Don't it all just seem a little much
When I'm along
it all hits home
Don't it all just seem a little much

When I'm along
it all hits home
Don't it all just seem a little much
When I'm along
it all hits home
Don't it all just seem a little much

And the night gets further from the day
