On my way home from the store

I bought your favorite color

So we can paint your room together

I'll cover your ceiling with nebula's

I'm not really sure if you'll remember

But in that one moment last summer I felt

Pretty good with being alive and all

It seems memories are all we've got

I've been getting tired of all these ghost boys telling me what to say

There's two for my heart and two for my brain

And the one for my body keeps running away

I've been wasting time on all these ghost boys and all their selfish ways

Believe me I can and will fix what they've done

Do you think of me anymore

As someone you can talk to

When your face turns to grey-blue

I know you, you're not anti-social

I'm constantly aware that we're sinking

And the spirit boys never let me refrain from thinking

That it's only a matter of time before we break

It seems optimism's all we've got at this point

I've been getting tired of all these ghost boys telling me what to say

There's two for my heart and two for my brain

And the one for my body keeps running away

I've been wasting time on all these ghost boys and all their selfish ways

Believe me I can and will fix what they've done

But I'm not an optimist you out of all know this

Sad kids we rhyme like this and all that I know is

Tunes and a rhyme help me more than a therapist

I cannot wait til the day that we reminisce

Times that we changed and the plans that we made

We are growing and learning every single day

And no matter how hard that I try to change

The ghost boys won't go away

I've been getting tired of all these ghost boys telling me what to say

There's two for my heart and two for my brain

And the one for my body keeps running away

I've been wasting time on all these ghost boys and all their selfish ways

Believe me I can and will fix what they've done
