The Ghost Inside Our House

we saw a ghost inside our house
or was it wishful thinking?
oh god, don't leave us by ourselves
or we're bound to take up drinking

please send us a miracle
so i know that there is meaning
except i think that it's a miracle
just to be here breathing

so live on
baby live on
live on
baby live on

packed up my clothes
in a grocery bag
I'm going to find the creator

an old man in the clouds 
or a happy little alien
whoever it is 
i need to thank her

and even though i don't know god
I'm happy with the mystery
and I'm certain that i feel her 
every time that you sing to me

in songs
you say life is like a song
it's a song
a hummable song

i watched you sleep until five am
cause i want to be part of your dreaming
oh love, don't leave me by myself
or I'm bound to lose my meaning

we'll start a little family
and call it our religion
hunt for ghosts inside our house
because we'll never give up wishing

that we live on
baby live on
in a song
a hummable song
