The Glass Ghost

You were glass, I was ice
So we built a snow-globe of our lives
Winter remained at the door
Over time, needing love
It's not enough to keep you holding on
For more

Boy, you are nothing more than a ghost to me
Ghost to me
Presence I feel occasionally
Love me and keep me happy with empty space
Empty space
Memories of winter fill your place

Remember the first time you saw me
I swear the classroom was empty before I
Caught your eye
And it was a good day for kiss-chase
The ground was dry and I still tripped on my lace
Close me eyes
The things you say, the things you do
They slip away and fade from you

Boy, you are nothing more than a ghost to me
Ghost to me
Presence I feel occasionally
Love me and keep me happy with empty space
Empty space
Memories of winter fill your place

Seems like dreams are hard to see through
I saw the best in you
Seems like I'm just wasting my time
Where should I draw the line?
You haunt me, ghost
You're the one that I love most
And it's hard to care
When you're never really there, there
