I saw a ghost on the stairs
And sheets on the tables and chairs
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink
Even so, I don't know what to think

I've been longing for
Daisies to push through the floor
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
So I won't feel dead anymore
So I won't feel dead anymore

I saw a bear in the den
Readin' my textbooks again
Bats float like traffic
As they pour from the attic
Heaven knows I could really use a friend

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings
Would you strum on mine?

I've been longing for
(I've been longing for)
Daisies to push through the floor
(I never really felt like this before)
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
So I won't feel dead anymore
So I won't feel dead anymore

Your spirit is sweet
So pull off your sheet
And give me a ghost of a smile
Show me your teeth
Cuz you're a teddy beneath
So just grin and bear it awhile
Just grin and bear it awhile

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings
Would you strum on mine?

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
(I thought that was all about lovin' at all)
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
(New leaf turns over, I'm willing to fall)

Tonight I'm bustin' out
Of this old haunted house
Cuz I'm sick of waiting for
All those spider webs to grow all around me
Cuz I don't feel dead anymore
And I'm not afraid anymore

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings
Would you strum on mine?

If I were to pluck on your heartstrings
Would you strum on mine?
