Ghost Town
Owen Jake Lyrics

Thought it was safe to go outside
I thought I had moved on from you and could go outside without the fear of your memory haunting me.

But I guess I was wrong
I was wrong because every corner, every room, every song reminds me of you and I am unable to escape those memories.

Thought I could take a little ride
I thought going for a little drive would help me clear my head and forget about you for a while.

Just to see what was going on
But everywhere I go, all I see are the memories of us and I can't escape them no matter what I do.

Girl I know it's been a while
It's been a while since you left me and I thought I had moved on from you.

A while since you've been gone I swear
But your memory still lingers and I can't seem to forget you no matter how hard I try.

Aw but baby I still see you everywhere
Your memory is everywhere I go and it's haunting me like a ghost.

Around every corner, cafe, back road, stop sign, stoplight streetlight glowing
Everywhere I turn, your memory is there, either in physical places or in the form of neon lights which I associate with you.

Around every highway, driveway, fast song, slow song on my radio
Even on the highways, in my car and on the radio, I can't escape the memories of you.

At every party, dive bar, backseat in my car
Even when I'm trying to have fun and forget you, your memory still lingers in every social situation.

Sounds crazy I know
It might sound like I'm crazy, but it's the truth and I can't escape it.

But you just keep hanging around
Your memory won't leave me alone and it feels like you're still here with me.

You got me living in a ghost town
Your memory has turned my life into a ghost town, where everything seems empty and haunted.

Girl I see you every road I go down
Every road I take, every place I go, I can see your memory and it's haunting me.

Your memory of me about to throw down, showdown, oh now
Your memory is so vivid it's like you are challenging me to a showdown, a battle between my will to forget you and your power to haunt me.

Why'd you leave me living in a ghost town
I'm still living in this haunted town because you left me and your memory won't let go.

Across the room I see your face
Even in a crowded room, your face stands out and I can see it clearly.

Then it disappears
But when I try to approach you or make sense of your memory, it disappears and I'm left alone again.

I hear your voice call out my name
Sometimes I can hear your voice calling my name and it's like you're still here with me.

Whispering in my ear
It's like you're whispering in my ear and trying to remind me of the love we once shared.

I reach for you but you're not here
When I try to reach out to you or touch you, I realize that you're not here anymore and I'm left alone.

You're still here
Even though you're not physically present, your memory still lingers and it's like you're still here with me.

I know you don't want me, so why oh why oh why do you haunt me
I know you don't want me back, but your memory won't let go and it's haunting me wherever I go.
