Ghosts
The Side Deal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think nobody knows you anymore
Trying hard to keep it all together
You sell your soul but nothings getting better
We used to party and we used to laugh
Turned up the speakers and let em blast
How did we let it get so far away
How many ghosts are up in your head (up in your head)
You've been talking in your sleep again
This is the worst you've ever seen it (how many ghosts)
Yeah, you got a problem
Hey let's fix it
Are they up in your head are they
Are they up in your head are they
You know we've heard all of these voices before
They're screaming louder than a lion's roar
Telling lies they think we wanna hear
We'll shut em out and make em disappear
We used to party like it would last
Turn up the speakers Grand Master Flash
How did we let get so far away
So far away, so so far away
How many ghosts are up in your head (up in your head)
You've been talking in your sleep again
This is the worst you've ever seen it (how many ghosts)
Yeah, you got a problem
We're gonna fix it
Try
We never know whats waiting for us on the other side
Til we try, til we try
We never know whats waiting for us on the other side
Yeah yeah yeah
We're gonna fix it
How many ghosts are up in your head (up in your head)
You've been talking in your sleep again
This is the worst you've ever seen it (how many ghosts)
Yeah, you got a problem
We're gonna fix it
Are they up in your head, are they
Are they up in your head, are they
Are they under your bed, are they, are they
Are they up in your head, are they
How many ghosts
