[Intro]
Yeah and I got ghosts
Yeah and I got ghosts
Yeah and I got ghosts
This song is for anybody
Who's ever been haunted by anything in your life
Let her go

[Verse 1]
Yeah, and
This is not the scenic route
Close your eyes let me show you what I dream about
We fell asleep upon the ride home
To the raindrops and stereo and my phone buzzin’
But I had never heard a sweeter sound
Than all your cluttered thoughts slowly almost leaking out
Like we could do this with our eyes closed
As I listened to you try to hit the high notes
I said “It’s a simple thing that I’m thinking upon
Yes, I’ve been prickled, but I’m soon to be figuring out”
In a different time zone
Watching the fireflies fly
I’m always far away
From where my mind goes by you
Put a mountain in my way and I could climb that
Or put an ocean in my way and I could dive right through it
It’s funny how we stand unchanged in plans unmade
I’ve always been a runaway but can’t complain
Because

[Hook]
Yeah and this is not the scenic route
Just a tragedy away
So put your grievance out
Until we’ve fought off all our goddamn ghosts
I’m sorry that we got that close (That we got that close)
Yeah and this is not the scenic route
Just a tragedy away
So put your grievance out
Until we’ve fought off all our goddamn ghosts
I’m sorry that we got that close (Yeah and I got ghosts)

Yeah and I got ghosts (x3)
I’m sorry that we got that close

[Verse 2]
Take my weathered hands and feel me reaching out
As if the heavy of life is gonna even out
She said “I’m sorry, but I’m leaving now”
They said “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but I’m leaving now”
There’s too much shit that we don’t speak about, awkward silence
Oftentimes I’ve been talking to my waterline trying to make my demons drown
If things have changed since that ride home
Then we’re an accident away from being fine
So
I think it’s funny how we never hit the high road
Somebody get something or run
Like they called the Five-0, die slow, or
Pose up on this sunset town
‘Cause only gravity can hold all of our upsets down
We could climb up to your rooftop
Our young chests pound
About to levitate and everything will come back around
I been
Waiting a lifetime to touch that ground
So if I burned this bridge, would you jump that, now?

[Hook]
Yeah and this is not the scenic route
Just a tragedy away
So put your grievance out
Until we’ve fought off all our goddamn ghosts
I’m sorry that we got that close (That we got that close)
Yeah and this is not the scenic route
Just a tragedy away
So put your grievance out
Until we’ve fought off all our goddamn ghosts
I’m sorry that we got that close (Yeah and I got ghosts)

[Verse 3]
Yeah and this is not the scenic route
Yeah and this is not the scenic route
So if you’re getting sick of leaving
Or even repeating weaving a seam to the people who seem to be cold
Yeah I know that you have fevers and sleep with your secrets
Seeking a seal for the ceiling right before it falls on us both
I believe in leaving demons, bereaving a reason
We could only see those deepened seeds and that they needed to grow
Most emcees these days spit promotional rhymes
Is it wrong that I’m in touch with my emotional side?
As a kid I used to wonder where the ocean would die
And if there’s anybody like me hoping on the other side
Now I’m just broken enough to evoke emotion in both of us
Open and spoken and totaled in lines
I’m gonna write things off when I go to revise
Nobody’s ghost is colder than mine
Despite the old jokes and life lessons that we’ll hopefully find
Years down the road honestly that’s totally fine
But in your mailbox an envelope will open your eyes
Keep your friends close, I’ll always with mine

[Hook]
Yeah and this is not the scenic route
Just a tragedy away
So put your grievance out
Until we’ve fought off all our goddamn ghosts
I’m sorry that we got that close (That we got that close)
Yeah and this is not the scenic route
Just a tragedy away
So put your grievance out
Until we’ve fought off all our goddamn ghosts
I’m sorry that we got that close
But I will not apologize
Yeah I will not apologize
I said, “I’m sorry that we got that close”
But this is not the scenic route home

Yeah and I got ghosts (x6)

[Outro]
So I think what we need to do right now
Is un-write everything that we've re-written
So we can be unwritten
And everything can be alright
She said “I’m sorry, but I’m leaving now”
They said “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but I’m leaving now”
