Visitor Lyrics
Let's not make this
Complicated
I know you
Last night I had the
Strangest dream
That you knew me, too
But you need to wake up
I can't have you disappear
Just like my parents' house
I've become a visitor
In the night you say
That you go underwater
You won't take me, no
You won't drown with your lover
You told me that I wasn't available
I guess I wasn't, I wasn't capable
I want to do better this time
But I guess you're better in the back of my mind
Oh you need to wake up
I can't have you disappear
Just like my parents' house
I've become a visitor
My mother said I was always afraid of the dark
But I'm not, I don't mind
Having a ghost in my bed
My mother said I was always afraid of the dark
But I'm not, I don't mind
Having a ghost in my bed
My mother said I was always afraid of the dark
But I'm not, I don't mind
Having a ghost in my bed
My mother said I was always afraid of the dark
But I'm not, I don't mind
Having a ghost in my bed
My mother said I was always afraid of the dark
But I'm not, I don't mind
Having a ghost in my bed
My mother said I was always afraid of the dark
But I'm not, I don't mind
Having a ghost in my bed
Complicated
I know you
Last night I had the
Strangest dream
That you knew me, too
I can't have you disappear
Just like my parents' house
I've become a visitor
That you go underwater
You won't take me, no
You won't drown with your lover
I guess I wasn't, I wasn't capable
I want to do better this time
But I guess you're better in the back of my mind
I can't have you disappear
Just like my parents' house
I've become a visitor
But I'm not, I don't mind
Having a ghost in my bed
But I'm not, I don't mind
Having a ghost in my bed
But I'm not, I don't mind
Having a ghost in my bed
But I'm not, I don't mind
Having a ghost in my bed
But I'm not, I don't mind
Having a ghost in my bed
But I'm not, I don't mind
Having a ghost in my bed
To me this feels like a relationship where the person isn't yet over their ex-love interest and is hence not emotionally "available". There's still the ghost of the ex haunting her. Meanwhile she's only a "visitor" when it comes to the new person who she feels is "better in the back of my mind" and she's trying to warn them to "wake up" to that reality.
Although in my experience, this most likely means the new person simply isn't the right one!
Very emotional song for me; helped me release a lot of emotions about 2 people in my life...
