Ghosts Lyrics
Lookin' for places to go
Boys in the street are talkin' about leavin', they're leavin'
Lookin' for places to go
Told me he was runnin' from somethin'
But I think he's just out chasin' girls
Her mother made sure that she left with her Bible but
You won't find her face on Sundays
Du du du-du-du-du, du-du-du-du, du-du-du-du
But all my friends are sittin' in their graves
All my friends are talkin' about leavin', about leavin'
But all my friends are sittin' in their graves
People say, "I knew you when you were six years old"
And you say, "But I've changed, I've changed, I've changed, I've changed."
Been here for a year and now I own this town
Cause I've changed, I've changed, I've changed, I've changed.
Du du du-du-du-du, du-du-du-du, du-du-du-du
But all my friends are sittin' in their graves
All my friends are talkin' about leavin', about leavin'
But all my friends are sittin' in their graves
Trippin' around in someone else's home
One day we'll all be ghosts, ghosts, ghosts
Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts
No longer lost, we're just hangin' around
One day we'll all be found, found, found,
Found, found, found
Ba-dap, ba-dap ba ba-da-da,
Ba-dap, ba-dap ba ba-da-da,
Ba-da
Ba-dap, ba-dap ba ba-da-da,
Ba-dap, ba-dap ba ba-da-da,
Ba-da
This song is about people who want to leave their town but he knows that all they're doing is talk and they're living where they'll eventually be buried.
That being sayed he's talking to people who "knew him when he was 6 years old" so he's still living in the same place even though he sayed he was gonna leave but he's still there.
It's about people who only dream about a new life and having the courage to leave the life they were born in to, but in reality they're too cowardly to really put themselves out there and grow up. They might as well be ghosts for all the adventure they'll never have in their life and the fact that they'll make no difference in the world by the time they die. "One day we'll all be found" ends it on a happier note-- at least when they really do die, they'll go up to heaven because these people ARE good people, and then they'll be in eternal peace.
