Peanuts and a Ghost

[Chorus] Whiskey watermarks on the wood A ghost of you, misunderstood Half a pack of peanuts here Whispering secrets in my ear Will you walk out in the dawn? Barefoot, till the night is gone To the fridge for milk so cold? A story waiting to unfold. [Verse] Two hours gone, the ice has drowned Your used glass, upside down Lipstick stain, a faint goodbye Beneath this pre-dawn sky I trace the rim, a silent plea For what you mean to me This kitchen's hush, the fading light Holds us in the fading night. [Pre-Chorus] Five AM, the world's asleep Secrets that the shadows keep Your shirt still on, a borrowed grace I hesitate to see your face. [Chorus] Whiskey watermarks on the wood A ghost of you, misunderstood Half a pack of peanuts here Whispering secrets in my ear Will you walk out in the dawn? Barefoot, till the night is gone To the fridge for milk so cold? A story waiting to unfold. [Bridge] This tender hour, a fragile hold More precious than pure gold Did you dream of me at all? Or just wait for morning's call? The air is thick with what's unsaid Lingering in my head. [Verse] I play with shells of what we were A silent, hopeful stir Imagining your sleepy eyes Beneath these pale sunrise Will you stir and softly tread? Leaving me here, filled with dread? Or will you smile and make me stay? And chase the lonely blues away? [Chorus] Whiskey watermarks on the wood A ghost of you, misunderstood Half a pack of peanuts here Whispering secrets in my ear Will you walk out in the dawn? Barefoot, till the night is gone To the fridge for milk so cold? A story waiting to unfold. [Outro]
