[Verse 1]
Jessie says she's been here for 1,000 days
1,000 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 j**els 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
We'll 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
We'll 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
[Bridge]
And soon she'll find that every time she runs she leaves behind
Another piece of her on every city street
So I will run until my feet don't touch the ground
And 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
We'll 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
[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, keep me
