Strangers & Ghosts

At the corner where your brother stood When he offered me another good advice To keep my head down for a while We got high and had our wires crossed So the honest parts they all got lost And left us with a useless little smile So one more thing that ended with a kiss You said I swear I'm so gonna kill you if you tell anyone about this From the Xray machines to the place in the south From our very first drinks until the point we passed out From the news you got lost and you don't want to be found I was trying to keep my ears close to the sound Of strangers and ghosts By the time the second verse kicked in I was playing a game I couldn't win With an old man I could barely understand He said son, time's not on our side So run from things you cannot hide from Days are numbered, things get out of hand So we packed our favorite things and made a list You said I'm gonna rip your head off if you really leave like this And at terminal 2 back from the place in the south From our very last words up to the point we made out From the news you got lost plus you don't want to be found I was trying to keep my ears close to the ground Strangers and ghosts all around At the corner where your brother stood When he offered me another good advice I tried to read between the lines
