Modern Ghosts
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.
Once it starts it's coming down
But I don't want to be around
Won't you come and go away with me?
once you start to realize
No one's waiting by your side
I'll watch you slowly fall apart
Nobody knows just what to call me
I'm at a low
I'm living in a dream
Nobody knows if angels are callin'
As you try to stay right here with my fears
And I know you won't be leaving
But all my thoughts are half the world away
Flash a smile when you say
That there will be a better day
Won't you come and go away with me?
Broken mirror in front of me
Distorted views are all I see
Watch me as I fall apart
Nobody knows just what to call me
I'm at a low
I'm living in a dream
Nobody knows if angels are callin'
As you try to stay right here with my fears
And I know you won't be leaving
But all my thoughts are half the world
All my thoughts are half the world away
I know you like the way you look tonight
You said I've read you like a book, you're right
I know you like the way you look tonight
You said I've read you like a book, you're right
Nobody knows just what to call me
I'm at a low
I'm living in a dream
Nobody knows if angels are callin'
As you try to stay right here with my fears
And I know you won't be leaving
But all my thoughts are half the world
All my thoughts are half the world away
