take your chances past forgiveness past the old days drink to new drown your sorrows until they learn to swim start the engine stop your caring get your bearings make your move until those old deaf ears oh how theyll fall on you see the problem is the blindness that you carry like a cross and the solution is the darkness that youre in time to focus time to realise your heart might be the boss but your head will stop the sides from caving in now youre a ghost in this town and still so hard on the eyes saying this is what it is to be alive guess all the secrets youre bound to on the inside are between you and the night i knew you once and your patience now its you that knows it all hope youre everything you couldnt wait to be i guess half of somethings better than a whole lot of nothing that may be but when the lightening comes why stand beneath the trees now youre a ghost in this town and still so hard on the eyes saying this is what it is to be alive guess all the secrets youre bound to on the inside are between you and the night oh why do i do oh why do i do oh why do i do what i do to you
