The Ghosts I Know

I want to go downtown and sit in the city

Without running into a ghost

Write down all of my feelings about my new life on the east coast

I want to make out with my favorite new person

Without being 10 years old

And re-living words I wish

I never heard in an echo

Maybe if I float around

Like all the ghosts I know

They'll haunt someone else instead

And leave me all alone

I want to go back to soho or brooklyn

This year without missing you

How can I miss someone who made

Me feel so sad without trying to

And I want to visit the new church downtown

And not ache like I always do

Gaslighting myself

Playing back why I left

"Why'd you have to?"

Maybe if I float around

Like all the ghosts I know

They'll haunt someone else instead

And leave me all alone

Maybe if I float around

Like all the ghosts I know

They'll haunt someone else instead

And leave me all alone

And I could go on living in a

Whisper no one knows

But I'd miss you way too much

And I'd just hang out in your home
