Can I keep you?

To love you as a ghost
It's cold on the surface
However I promise warmth inside
Maybe like the state I am in
This all just a shallow state of mind
I fear I would have to be dead
Because i feel trapped
With unfinished business

I love you like a ghost
Very few will ever see me
I walk through walls
Not because I want to
I'm feared or researched
A myth or a beautiful secret

Still... I just want to be
Exist in a world that exists to me
At our greatest the question is asked
Can I keep you?
From what
From who
An for why I have no idea
I do know I'm in love
An it hurts so much
Because I'm just a ghost
What could I offer you
So I'd ask the universe
Every night
To be a real man
A human in true form
One you could love
Over and over again

Can i keep you?
There i go again
Selfish and clueless
Optimistic yet secluded

I just want to live one moment
Just be alive inside and out
To show you
I'm not afraid
And loving you
Was what I was made to do

Can i keep you?
