Ghosts
Raines Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hear voices, awoken from my sleep
I'm haunted by the thoughts, that creep
If the earth quakes now, buildings fall
I'm pulling pictures off from our walls, 'til you say
Here, here I am
Oh, and here, here I am
Oh, oh
All the ghosts
That float, float around us
Now they turned all our dreams into dust
We saved your mother
But darling there was no spark, left for us
We won the battle but lost the heart
But now I know that here, here I am
Oh and here, here I am

Oh, hard to believe
It's said and done, hard to believe
It's not dead and gone
I want to believe
All is well that ends well, but I just can't
Convince myself

Run towards the stars, or make them shine
Fight the tide, until the day we die
Run towards the stars, can't make them shine
But you know I'll try
Run towards the stars, or make them shine
Fight the tide, until the day we die
Run towards the stars, can't make them shine




But you know I'll try
For you I'll try

Omg! I listened to Rains about 10 years ago and thought it was amazing. I would always come back and listen some times. I did not realize this was released until today but it's amazing! Hopefully there is more to come. ❤
