[Verse 1]
Line by line, we drew it up
Had our fill and threw it up
Wrote the will and tore it up
I can't even say why
All my past is shorin’ up
Beatin' on my door, won't stop
Couldn’t lie, so I made it up
And I can't even say why
I can't even say why

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder as I walk away
Did I ever love it all the way?
Did I open up my heart and say it like I mean it?
From the end right to the start
From seein' to believin'

[Chorus]
Oh, but I saw a ghost
In the mirror, comin' near
A little close for comfort tonight
Ooh, he said “It's easier to be alive
Than hide under your pillow
While your life is passin' you by”
[Verse 2]
One by one, they carry us
Break our hearts and marry us
Dig us up, then bury us
I wish I could say why
All my past is sure enough
Beatin’ on my door, has stopped
Couldn’t lie, so I make it up
And I don't even know why
I don’t even know why

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder as I walk away
Did I ever love it all the way?
Did I open up my heart and say it like I mean it?
From the end right to the start
From seein' to believin'

[Chorus]
Oh but I saw a ghost
In the mirror, comin' near
A little close for comfort tonight
Ooh, he said “It’s easier to be alive
Than hide under your pillow
While your life is passin' you by”
So live your life
Don't waste your time
Ooh, live your life
Don't waste your time
[Bridge]
I saw a ghost in the mirror, comin' nearer
I saw a ghost in the mirror, in the mirror

[Outro]
Oh, I saw a ghost
In the mirror, comin' near
A little close for comfort tonight
Ooh, he said “It's easier to be alive
Than hide under your pillow
While your life is passin' you by”
So live your life
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Aah aah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh ah
