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

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

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

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 shit 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?

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 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

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)

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

They said “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but I’m leaving now”
