Lessons From Spirits

Can you hear the ghosts
Can you hear the ghosts crawling their way in
Till we remember when we all fell in
And swam back up the coast

The sun will rise alone
The sun will rise alone even if
We're not here to cheer it on
The stadiums will fill after we're gone

I hear them talking when I try to sleep
I hear them talking when I try to sleep

The future matters more
The future matters more even though
We don't know what's in store, oh
Please don't send my sisters off to war

It was up to her
It was up to her, it was her decision
And the clinician she had found
The father made it clear he wouldn't be around

I hear them talking when I try to sleep
I hear them talking when I try to sleep

I've never missed you more
I've never missed you more
I've never missed you more
I've never missed you more
I've never missed you more than I do tonight
Drunk on stranger's wine, pretending to like jazz
These days feel like New York
And the last time I felt life explode
And the cabs always stopped for our shouts
And it's true that our time's running out
But don't your forget what a ghost once told me
Yeah, our time isn't quite over yet
