Haunted Hearts

I count the stairs like rosary beads

The hallway hums in minor keys

Your name is stuck between my teeth

Like candy I can't swallow clean

You said you’d call,

but the clock just grins

My phone is cold,

my skin is thin

I feel the room lean in too close Like it knows what

I miss the most Spooky little love,

you haunt my head

Dancing in the dark where the good sense fled

Spooky little love, don’t leave me yet

Kiss me like a curse I won’t forget

Your jacket still smells like the rain

I hang it up,

it feels profane

I make my coffee,

miss the steam

It curls like smoke inside my dream If I open all the

windows wide

Would you disappear into the night

Or would you stay,

a gentle fright Teaching my heart to feel alive

Spooky little love, you haunt my head

Dancing in the dark where the good sense fled

Spooky little love, don’t leave me yet Kiss me like a curse

I won’t forget

Spooky little love

Stay till the morning Spooky little love (ooh)
