Look behind you
Avoid the shadows
Watch your back now
Make your breathing shallow

Keep your room locked
And leave the blinds closed
I'm right there staring at your window

And all I need is you
And all I need is you

I'm in the background
On the radio
I'm in your car
In your house
Waiting at your door
Under your footsteps
I'm everything you know
Just let me haunt
Let me haunt
Let me be your ghost

You had your chance love
You tried to stay strong
You tried to let go
Tell yourself you moved on

But then it comes back
That feeling in your bones
Like I'm right there

And all I need is you
And all I need is you

I'm in the background
On the radio
I'm in your car
In your house
Waiting at your door
Under your footsteps
I'm everything you know
Just let me haunt
Let me haunt
Let me be your ghost
Let me be your ghost
Just let me be your ghost

I'm in the background
On the radio
I'm in your car
In your house
Waiting at your door
Under your footsteps
I'm everything you know
Just let me haunt
Let me haunt
Let me be your ghost

    Song Meaning:I actually think it's about unrequited love between two people.
    The girl unconditionally loves the singer, but the singer doesn't feel the same way back. They dated for a while but the singer dumped her, while she's left haunted by memories. He's gone through this and understands what she's feeling, which is why he wrote the song. He's hurting because he hurt her.

    Song Meaning:I actually thought the same things when I first herd this but I saw Parachute this month in Pontiac and I got to hang out with Kit and Johhny and my friend and I asked about it because thats our favorite song and they told us how its actually about music. Kit said "you know when you set your alarm for the radio to wake you up? Well later in the day your singing a song and you don't know why its stuck in your head. Music follows you everywhere you are. It "haunts you". I thought that was pretty niffy :)

    General Comment:i agree that hes talking about this girl who probably dumped him and how hes the best thing that happened to her and she'll realize that she messed up and her decision will haunt her. i dont think its stalkerish, i think hes just getting the point across to her that wherever she is his memory will be
    there and she won't be able to forget him and how she lost him.

    General Comment:I think this song is more about this girl who dumped him and he's saying he's probably the best thing that ever happened to her and her decision will haunt her.

    General Comment:I would have to agree; it's kind of stalkerish but at the same time sweet. Does anyone else think it's kind of sweet?
