Ghosts
Idle Noise Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ghost in the snow
Too far to let it go
Fall towards the memories of you

And you're too far to hear me
Too far to listen
Cry down on the floor

And it's too hard to break free
Too hard not to listen
Bring yourself back here

We fall
More
More than ever
Harder, together

Reaching out
To a life once led
It's too hard to let it go

Hearts, still breaking over
Over and over again
Time after time

We fall
More
More than ever
Harder, together

And you're too far to hear me
Too far to listen
I die behind closed doors

And it's always on repeat
My only vision
It's you
It's always you

Yeah, we fall
More

More than ever
I'm yours forever
