Dylan Owen - Ghosts lyrics

[Intro] Yeah and I got ghosts Yeah and I got ghosts Yeah and I got ghosts This song is for anybody Who's ever been haunted by anything in your life Let her go [Verse 1] Yeah, and This is not the scenic route Close your eyes let me show you what I dream about We fell asleep upon the ride home To the raindrops and stereo and my phone buzzin' But I had never heard a sweeter sound Than all your cluttered thoughts slowly almost leaking out Like we could do this with our eyes closed As I listened to you try to hit the high notes I said “It's a simple thing that I'm thinking upon Yes, I've been prickled, but I'm soon to be figuring out” In a different time zone Watching the fireflies fly I'm always far away From where my mind goes by you Put a mountain in my way and I could climb that Or put an ocean in my way and I could dive right through it It's funny how we stand unchanged in plans unmade I've always been a runaway but can't complain Because [Hook] Yeah and this is not the scenic route Just a tragedy away So put your grievance out Until we've fought off all our goddamn ghosts I'm sorry that we got that close (That we got that close) Yeah and this is not the scenic route Just a tragedy away So put your grievance out Until we've fought off all our goddamn ghosts I'm sorry that we got that close (Yeah and I got ghosts) Yeah and I got ghosts (x3) I'm sorry that we got that close [Verse 2] Take my weathered hands and feel me reaching out As if the heavy of life is gonna even out She said “I'm sorry, but I'm leaving now” They said “I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I'm leaving now” There's too much sh** that we don't speak about, awkward silence Oftentimes I've been talking to my waterline trying to make my demons drown If things have changed since that ride home Then we're an accident away from being fine So I think it's funny how we never hit the high road Somebody get something or run Like they called the Five-0, die slow, or Pose up on this sunset town ‘Cause only gravity can hold all of our upsets down We could climb up to your rooftop Our young chests pound About to levitate and everything will come back around I been Waiting a lifetime to touch that ground So if I burned this bridge, would you jump that, now? [Hook] Yeah and this is not the scenic route Just a tragedy away So put your grievance out Until we've fought off all our goddamn ghosts I'm sorry that we got that close (That we got that close) Yeah and this is not the scenic route Just a tragedy away So put your grievance out Until we've fought off all our goddamn ghosts I'm sorry that we got that close (Yeah and I got ghosts) [Verse 3] Yeah and this is not the scenic route Yeah and this is not the scenic route So if you're getting sick of leaving Or even repeating weaving a seam to the people who seem to be cold Yeah I know that you have fevers and sleep with your secrets Seeking a seal for the ceiling right before it falls on us both I believe in leaving demons, bereaving a reason We could only see those deepened seeds and that they needed to grow Most emcees these days spit promotional rhymes Is it wrong that I'm in touch with my emotional side? As a kid I used to wonder where the ocean would die And if there's anybody like me hoping on the other side Now I'm just broken enough to evoke emotion in both of us Open and spoken and totaled in lines I'm gonna write things off when I go to revise Nobody's ghost is colder than mine Despite the old jokes and life lessons that we'll hopefully find Years down the road honestly that's totally fine But in your mailbox an envelope will open your eyes Keep your friends close, I'll always with mine [Hook] Yeah and this is not the scenic route Just a tragedy away So put your grievance out Until we've fought off all our goddamn ghosts I'm sorry that we got that close (That we got that close) Yeah and this is not the scenic route Just a tragedy away So put your grievance out Until we've fought off all our goddamn ghosts I'm sorry that we got that close But I will not apologize Yeah I will not apologize I said, “I'm sorry that we got that close” But this is not the scenic route home Yeah and I got ghosts (x6) [Outro] So I think what we need to do right now Is un-write everything that we've re-written So we can be unwritten And everything can be alright She said “I'm sorry, but I'm leaving now” They said “I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I'm leaving now”
