lyrics

When I was a kid, I believed in ghosts,
They traveled endless hallways on their way back home.
I’d stay up all night making maps for those lost souls.
Before today, I thought we’d accomplish our goals.

I am just a spirit floating up above the world we’ve come to know,
And I’m hoping one day soon I’ll make it home.

When I was a boy, I treated love like it was a toy,
I lost more friends than a headstone would care to count.
I look down from above on all the people that I love,
And I try hard not to think about you now.

I am just a spirit floating up above the world we’ve come to know,
And I’m hoping one day soon I’ll make it home.

Before now I could believe in a world I couldn’t see,
And before now I was searching for my time.
Before now I believed in the faith you put in me,
And before now I thought that we would all be fine.

Before my best friend Kevin learned to load a gun,
Before Max took his parents’ care and decided to run,
Before Andy woke up on the hotel floor,
Before Kelly had to learn what her father was for,
Before Emma bought a house two hours away,
Before Alyssa begged Brandon for just one more day,
Before we buried Becca six feet under ground,
Now we’re way more lost and a lot less found.
Before Hillary and Donald had us all caught up,
Before we had to hold our funerals in our nightclubs
Before our children had to learn to ring the mourning bell,
Before we fired up the drones and sent the world to hell,
Before the derivatives drove us off a fiscal cliff,
Before the silence of the many turned into a fist.
My feet float off the floor because I can’t take anymore,
It’s an imaginary past that I’m looking for.
You don’t have to tell me twice,
You know I know,
But I’m a traveling spirit on my way back home.
