You want to be forgiven in sheets of haunted linen
You're my poltergeist love, you're my poltergeist love
And I expected you to listen. Who the fuck was I kidding?
You're my poltergeist love, you're my poltergeist love

Now I'm sitting on the sidewalk
Looking for you in the pitch dark
Yesterday I broke the silence
Yesterday I fell apart

You waltzed into the drugstore, they ran out of what you came for
You're my poltergeist love, you're my poltergeist love
And the labels offer warnings, beware of death or habits forming
You're my poltergeist love, you're my poltergeist love

Now I'm dreaming in the daytime
Picture you and try to rewind
I wish I met you later
I wish life was more kind

Another missed call on my cellphone, but I know I'm in a dead zone
You're my poltergeist love, you're my poltergeist love
Insults and apologies, a clean conscience isn't everything
You're my poltergeist love, you're my poltergeist love

Now I'm going off the deep end
I've got nothing left to defend
Shooting blanks into the distance
Winning over my lost friends
