The Ghost Inside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll live for today knowing that tomorrow might never come. But I'm content knowing I've made the most of the days, most just piss away.
Maybe someday I'll be something more. Something bigger than this. Maybe someday I'll be someone, someone important
Tonight's our night, not like anyone else's, I've never been so proud. So far ahead, are the things we dread, I'll live in this moment. Nowhere but here. No one but us.
Maybe someday I'll be something more. Something bigger than this. Maybe someday I'll be someone, someone important
Why won't the world just see that there is nothing wrong with me? Why can't the world just see that there is
Nothing wrong with us?
Never stopping to see, what we all see.
Never striving to be, what all we dream for ourselves
