lyrics

Spectre

I curled up with a stranger--on the bus
She felt safe from danger--in my arms
Am I the kind of person for one-night stands?
Or just a lonely boy with an empty hand?

We wondered at New York--and Washington
But this isn't a love song
It's an ache and a question
What was right and what was wrong
What was selfish, what was love, what was my
Fantasy romance apathy
Just someone to hold in selfish greed

We took the train to Brooklyn Heights
And when I put my arm around you, you didn't like
Our touch exposed to the day
I caught your smiling face
With all Manhattan beside
And you saw the statue
For the first time

I was late
You stepped off the train to go to Central Park
And your plane--took you far away
By the time--it got dark

Ghost in the metro glass
I miss you but I hardly know your name
I don't want to fall in love with you
But for some reason I miss you all the same
But once again, I'll turn away, I'm lonely

Ghosts in the metro glass
The many frames, the face, the past
I don't know how to love I don't think
Fingertips inside my hand
An aching back so you can rest
The phone line echoes my heart away
To the wind
