Haunted (Acoustic)

You pulled off the road so you could cry

It's too quiet in the suburbs

Searched your mind to try to find

Where the bottom really was

When you felt nothing but young and in love

They didn't love you in return

The look that was in their eyes

Is a memory you've burned

But you sleep with a window open

And you hope the cold gets in your heart

But you're not haunted

You just miss everything

You're not a ghost

So stop disappearing

So stop disappearing

And there's another body in the McDonald's parking lot

The cops stand around like there's nothing to do

You start to worry that's what you'll look like

When it catches up, but you're a stranger in your photos

Melt into a drink with all your friends

You're swallowed in a moment

The metaphor is meaningless, so you'll say

"Well, that's okay, that's okay, they never liked me anyway"

But there's a killer in your heart

You're not haunted

You just miss everything

You're not a cautionary tale

So don't you vanish on me

You're losing weekends

And then each day will start to slide

You keep breaking all these habits

But you can't seem to get by

And you, you used to daydream about the things

You'd do and say when you were famous

But now the plastic in your belly

It has you feeling all sorts of sick

You used to daydream

You used to daydream

But you're not haunted

It's just the devil in your skin

It'll be this bleak forever

But it is a way to live

You're not alone

You just miss everything

So when you're feeling like a ghost

Would you come haunt me please?

Come haunt me

Would you come haunt me please?

Come haunt me, come haunt me

Would you come haunt me?

It's every trip into that empty house

The silence from the street

Your blanket in your seat

The nearly muted TV

There's no answer from you

And your phone blinks with my reply

It's that lump in my chest

My relief to hear you cry
