Story Behind the Song
One morning I woke up because the mattress I'd slept on for years was worn out and the springs were digging into my hips. I sleep on my side. So I then rolled to the other side of the mattress and the entire song popped into my head!
I woke up and wrote it on the spot.
Lyrics
My mattress is all worn out
Springs are diggin into my hips
So I rolled to the other side
Where I used to kiss your lips
And nobodys been there baby
Since youve left and gone
I know youve had so many other lovers
But Im still hanging on
Baby Im, baby Im, baby Im, baby Im,
Still sleeping with your ghost
Butterflies sometimes come at night
My skin crawls like caterpillars
A full moon shines outside my window
I glimpsed your face on your old pillow
Baby Im, baby Im, baby Im, baby Im,
Still sleeping with your ghost
And shadows dont kiss back
Or hold me like you used to
And what I thought was real
Just disappeared
My studio is a haunted mansion
Everyday feels like a twilight zone
My bed is cold, the world spins faster
I called because I had to ask you
Are you sleeping with my ghost?
Are you sleeping with my ghost?
Baby Im, baby Im, baby Im, baby Im,
Still sleeping with your ghost
