Haunt Lyrics by Dan Smith

Before Bastille

2008

[Verse 1]
We'll make our agreements about when next we will meet
And I leave you in the doorway
The cold evening aches as it leaves in its wake
All the memories left by the day
Oh I'm questioning why as we look to the sky
That is cloudless up above our heads
And thoughts come to mind
That our short little lives
Haven't left the path that they will tread
They will tread

[Chorus]
I will try to love you
It's not like I'm above you
And I'll come back to haunt you
Memories will taunt you

[Verse 2]
If wisdom we learn as our minds
They do burn
All entice the naivity in youth
And as adults will grow
And maturity shows
All the terrifying rarity of truth
If you turn to your mind
And your thoughts, they rewind
To old happenings and things that are done
But you can't find what's passed
Make that hapiness last
Seeing from those eyes what you've become
What you've become

[Chorus]
I will try to love you
It's not like I'm above you
And I'll come back to haunt you
Memories will taunt you

[Bridge]
I will see you there
Will see you there
Will see you there

[Chorus]
I'll come back to haunt you
Memories will taunt you
And I will try to love you
It's not like I'm above you

[Outro]
We'll make our agreements abour when next we will meet
And I leave you in the doorway
The cold evening aches as it leaves in its wake
Empty promises yet to be paides
And we're questioning why as we look to the sky
That is cloudless up above our heads
And thoughts come to mind
That our short little lives
Haven't left the path that they will tread
They will tread
