There’s this one cool ghost, that I feel the most
There’s this one cool breeze through my hair
If I added all the colors,
My pallets screaming for some tenderness
My brush is getting dry, it must be the hair
In case you’re wondering, I always had a choice
In case you’re listening, I couldn’t hear
The calls from the wild,
The screaming of my child
Speaking tongues among the young, the youth grows near
So I ask you a favor, so as long as I belong
Can you help me through my day
And I ask you to be honest; I promise I’ll be strong
Can you help me on my way
I, I, I, belong to you (Repeat)
There’s this one cool girl, that I love the most
And her voice keeps ringing in my ears
Her smile it makes me laugh,
A picture perfect of the past
The mood grows close, I feel that ghost
My heart grows near
Now you got me started, and now I have to write
Put that pen to the paper,
Until they come out right
The time is getting near, the moments finally come here
I cross my legs, a big deep breath
My hands feel right.
So I ask you a favor, so as long as I belong
Can you help me through my day
And I ask you to be honest, I promise I’ll be strong
Can you help me on my way
I, I, I, belong to you (Repeat)
This time I’m spending here, I had a chance to think
And the time I’m spending there, I catch my breath
Spread the sheets, I pull the cover
Getting closer to my lover
The mood grows close, I feel that ghost
My heart grows near
Now its got me thinking, Its got me up all night
Put your words to the trigger, everything will be alright
Grab that pin, we’re almost in
The love is coming from within
Open the book and have a look,
The truth grows near
So I ask you a favor, so as long as I belong
Can you help me through my day
And I ask you to be honest, I promise I’ll be strong
Can you help me on my way
I, I, I, belong to you (Repeat)
Now, there’s one more thing, that I’d like to share
And there’s one more verse, to say I care
Have a toast, to the ghost,
The feelings happening to most
Having fun in the sun, the earth grows near
Now it’s got me thinking, and now I have to right
I put my pen to the paper, and hope they come out right
Hear my words they sound sincere,
The pictures looking very clear
It’s what I thought, that’s what I’m taught
To find you near…
So I ask you a favor, so as long as I belong
Can you help me through my day
And I ask you to be honest, I promise I’ll be strong
Can you help me on my way
I, I, I, belong to you (Repeat)
