[Verse 1]
You keep feeding old bones
Pouring wine on dry stone
Every memory overgrown
Till it tangles up your throat
Chasing flickers on the wall
Calling echoes just to fall
Every “someday” built too tall
Then it vanishes in smoke
[Pre-Chorus]
Past is dust on my tongue
Future flickers
Comes undone
Only thunder in my lungs
Right here
Right now
[Chorus]
If you’re watering ghosts
They still won’t grow
If you run at mirages
You die in the road
All that I feel
I feel in the glow
Of this breath
This beat
This second I hold
Keep my heart in the present tense
Every pulse
Every touch makes sense
If you’re watering ghosts
Let go
Let go
If you’re chasing mirages
Come home
Come home (hey!)
[Verse 2]
You were crying at the door
For a love that lives no more
You were praying to before
Like it might rewrite today
Then you burned out every nerve
For a crown you never earned
For a kingdom unconfirmed
Always ten years far away
[Pre-Chorus]
Past is poison in my cup
Future fever heats me up
So I drink this moment up
Right here
Right now
[Chorus]
If you’re watering ghosts
They still won’t grow
If you run at mirages
You die in the road
All that I feel
I feel in the glow
Of this breath
This beat
This second I hold
Keep my heart in the present tense
Every pulse
Every touch makes sense
If you’re watering ghosts
Let go
Let go
If you’re chasing mirages
Come home
Come home
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to filtered synth and kick]
Hands up high for the life you get
Not the one that left
Not the one not yet
Say: “This is real” (this is real)
Say: “This is mine” (this is mine)
We are here
We are here
We are here in time
[Chorus]
If you’re watering ghosts
They still won’t grow
If you run at mirages
You die in the road
All that I feel
I feel in the glow
Of this breath
This beat
This second I hold
Keep my heart in the present tense
Every pulse
Every touch makes sense
If you’re watering ghosts
Let go
Let go
If you’re chasing mirages
Come home
Come home (come home)
