Cavetown - Ghost Boys

On my way home from the storeI bought your favourite colourSo we can paint your room togetherI'll cover your ceiling with nebulasI'm not really sure if you'll rememberBut in that one moment last summer I feltPretty good with being alive and allIt seems memories are all we've got

I've been getting tired of all these ghost boystelling me what to sayThere's two for my heart and two for my brainAnd the one for my body keeps running awayI've been wasting time on all these ghost boysand all their selfish waysBelieve me I can and will fix what they've done

Do you think of me anymoreAs someone you can talk toWhen your face turns to grey-blueI know you, you're not anti-socialI'm constantly aware that we're sinkingAnd the spirit boys never let merefrain from thinkingThat it's only a matter of time before we breakIt seems optimism's all we've got at this point

I've been getting tired of all these ghost boystelling me what to sayThere's two for my heart and two for my brainAnd the one for my body keeps running awayI've been wasting time on all these ghost boysand all their selfish waysBelieve me I can and will fix what they've done

But I'm not an optimist you out of all know thisSad kids we rhyme like thisand all that I know isTunes and a rhyme help me more than a therapistI cannot wait til the day that we reminisceTimes that we changedand the plans that we madeWe are growing and learning every single dayAnd no matter how hard that I try to changeThe ghost boys won't go away

I've been getting tired of all these ghost boystelling me what to sayThere's two for my heart and two for my brainAnd the one for my body keeps running awayI've been wasting time on all these ghost boysand all their selfish waysBelieve me I can and will fix what they've done
