Transference

It was there when we had our last kiss
He said our story was bigger than this
I didn't lie when I said we were friends
But I wanna skip pages to see how it ends

So I take that pain
Stick it in a different vein
New faces, the same shades
Hanging in the astral plane

It was there, stopped at a red light
With a new guy saying everything right
But I was still fighting poltergeists
And making wishes on satellites

I don't play games
That's always what I say
But don't you wanna take that pain
And stick it in a different vein

When you're thinking of her
And she's thinking of him
It's there in your house
Rearranging your things
When you stare down that cursed apparition
Baby gimme that sweet exorcism
One day you'll get what I used to tell you
We have all got ghosts passing through

And it's there when I crawl out of bed
Try to run but I can't move my legs
Let him sleep as I scroll through my phone
Cause I can't spend the evening alone

But he owes nothing to me
Can't give him the things that he needs
I'll hurt him in a thousand ways
I wonder if I can change

When you're thinking of her
And she's thinking of him
It's there in your house
Rearranging your things
When you stare down that cursed apparition
Baby gimme that sweet exorcism
One day you'll get what I used to tell you
We have all got ghosts passing through

Haunt me
Feed me, feed me all your memories
Are you lonely?
Who do you see in the room with me?
Can you call it cruel
When it's something we all do
Histories and sins
The things we work out, skin to skin
Transference
Transference
Can you feel that, can you feel that
Can you feel that chill?
They have got some unfinished business with me still

When you're thinking of her
And she's thinking of him
It's there in your house
Rearranging your things
When you stare down that cursed apparition
Baby gimme that sweet exorcism
One day you'll get what I used to tell you
We have all got ghosts passing through
I'd love to love you, but I can't stay
I am just a ghost whispering away
I can't quiet, I'll die if I do
I am just a ghost passing through
