Only Ghosts

from Taking Sides (album) by Court Hoang

/

lyrics

i was on a freight train running over hillsides,
wond'ring where you were
staring at a letter torn out of your notebook
scrawled in broken verse

tried to say goodbye, you know i'm just a maybe
not a certainty
but if you stuck around, i'd show you i'm not so bad,
maybe you'd agree

and if you still believe it's only ghosts who bleed unseen
i don't want to hear your anecdotes when i am grieving

i can hear your breath in whispers now there's no one
keeping it from me
if you want to go, just say so, we'll go far away
from this old world

i don't want to take your antidotes for my diseases
if you still believe we're only ghosts then stop your bleeding

now the wind is crying only for the ground ten
thousand feet below
i can feel your heartbeat pulling me up, but i think
you just can't say no
