Deadlights Lyrics by Southtowne Lanes

Give Up the Ghost

2016

Pretty soon
You will see
That all that we can hope to be
Are ghosts in someone else’s dreams
We breathe; step, repeat
Breathe; step, repeat

And I will wait for you here
And I will wait for your name to blot out
Into the dirt under my boots
Into the last sip of my glass
Until you couldn’t tell difference between love and cost;
The hurt and the loss

Pretty soon
You will see
That all that we can hope to be
Are ghosts in someone else’s dreams
We breathe; step, repeat
We breathe; step, repeat

And I wouldn’t send the letters
And I wouldn’t make the calls
But you can see me up ahead
Floating with the ghosts

Floating along, floating along…
Floating along, floating along…
Floating along, floating along…
Floating along, floating along…

If you ever give up yourself
Blend in with us. We sing, we dance
We can float (always floating.)
We are always floating
In between love and cost;
The hurt and the loss
The love and cost;
The hurt and the loss

He thrust his fists against the post
And still insists he sees the ghosts
