42
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Those who are dead, are not dead
They're just living in my head
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well
Time is so short and I'm sure
There must be something more
Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living in my head
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well
Time is so short and I'm sure
There must be something more
You thought you might be a ghost
You thought you might be a ghost
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You thought you might be a ghost
You thought you might be a ghost
You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You didn't get to heaven but you oh-oh, oh-oh
Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living in my head
