Lyrics
Haunted
by Chris Koch
CHORUS
The ones that want me I don't want
The ones I want don't want me
But everyone is here tonight
They've all joined forces to haunt me
Wouldn't you know it, I just started dropping off
Into a dream of travel and friends
Then like a recurring nightmare or nagging cough
All of a sudden they're here again
What in the world do you want from me?
I'm very tired, now leave me be
CHORUS
Wouldn't you know it, just when I thought that I'd
Figured it out and torn it apart
Just when I'd thought I'd found me a place to hide
All of them jump out from inside my heart
Why in the world won't you leave me alone?
You've made your point, now please go home!
CHORUS
I'm just a little boy
And all I want is someone to take care of me
Until I'm big enough to take care of myself
'Til I'm big enough to take care of myself
CHORUS
