Landon Pigg - A Ghost

An honest song about unrequited love; I keep picturing a guy who’s always looking at his crush from far, he probably knows and is in love with everything about her, but no matter how hard he tried, the girl doesn’t notice him; or maybe he’s just not her type.

But it’s also about forbidden love, maybe the girl already has boyfriend but she keeps flirting with him, leading him in, but doesn’t want to break up with her current boyfriend. The guy in the song knows she’s selfish, but he’s really in love with her so he’ll do anything to make her happy even if it means he can’t be with her in public like couples do. Either way, this song makes me feel all mushy inside.

A Ghost by Landon Pigg

You cannot hug a shadow’s neck, you cannot kiss a shilhouette, but I’ve done both time and time again. You reel me in like rain on a tin roof. When I open the door to let you in, you are not there. The sky is clear, there’s not a cloud in sight.

Am I believing in a ghost? Am I wishing on a star? Am I loving you the most because I can’t be where you are?

And am I wishing you were here because I know you cannot be? Am I going crazy, dear?

Your secret eyes, they touch my skin. I wish that I could pretend, but as you know that really ain’t my field. I sit around, looking much too serious and I stand still, lay in dark period but all the day will fly away.

Am I believing in a ghost? Am I wishing on a star? Am I loving you the most because I can’t be where you are?

And am I wishing you were here because I know you cannot be? Am I going crazy, dear, to let you get the best of me?
