Ghosts Lyrics

There are spirits
Coming to find me
They're not stopping
Until it's done

And I can feel them
Taking me over

I can seem them
From 56 miles away
But I can't hear
What they're saying

They've gotta believe me
That I'll never forget you

Every day the ghosts are coming for me
Every way I'm overcoming
To keep you alive
To keep you alive

So take me out into the night
It was all you didn't say
You had no fight
I was on the verge to scream
When you wouldn't scream
About anything
I don't wanna be your
Stupid fling
Or your
Magazine
That you look and turn the pages of
Someone else that you'll never love

Every day the ghosts are coming for me

Cause I was on the verge to scream
When you
Wouldn't scream about anything

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is very meaningful to me. The speaker refers to ghosts as a representation of the memories of the person he fell in love. He knows these memories are dead weight and nothing more than ghosts that haunt him. Living in constant denial of this, the speaker fights against that realization and constantly cherishes these "ghosts" (memories) and tries to see them as living moments because it's the only way to hold on to that love he is so afraid to lose. Everyday he replays these memories in his head in order to not forget, despite he sees them further and further away as time progresses. The speaker is clearly heart broken that he was just another "fling" another page in her journal. He feels used and resents her, but yet can't comprehend why he holds such a steadfast love for her. Above all though, what haunts him is that she didn't feel the slightest pain when she left him and this is what doesn't allow him to move on; how he could fall in love with such a cold human being? He gave up everything for her and all she gave him was darkness
