Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jessie says she's been here for a thousand days A thousand days to her, that just don't mean a thing Because the city makes a perfect place to sleep And daddy's coming home, he said he brought her things Like jewels from every coast and songs for them to sing But singing never got her very far And this whole coast is full of pin-up paper rock stars [Chorus] She says she'll run until her feet don't touch the ground And as the waves carry me out Keep listening, she'll never make a sound So keep it coming and the details quiet She's like a ghost that keeps you up all night And she'll be a secret you can keep, keep me [Verse 2] Cuts on paper hearts they can be awful deep Rips from wear and tear on different city streets They don't all need a home but just a place to sleep [Chorus] So I will run until my feet don't touch the ground And as the waves carry me out Keep listening, she'll never make a sound So keep it coming and the details quiet She's like a ghost that keeps you up all night And she'll be a secret you can keep, keep me, keep me [Bridge] So I will run until my feet don't touch the ground As the waves carry me out, keep listening [Chorus] So I will run until my feet don't touch the ground And as the waves carry me out Keep listening, she'll never make a sound So keep it coming and the details quiet She's like a ghost that keeps you up all night And she'll be a secret you can keep, keep me, keep me [Outro] So keep it coming and the details quiet She's like a ghost that keeps you up all night And she'll be a secret you can keep She says "keep me, keep me."
