Cover art for Ghosts lyrics by Head and the Heart, The

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.
