[Verse 1]
Every time we walk on by
There's the guy
Standing in the window
Giving us a preview (hey!)
Dust on the glass
His hollow stare
Smudge of a handprint hanging there
I tug your sleeve
You pull me close
We keep on walking slow
[Chorus]
I swear the house is haunted
It’s all we ever wanted
Laughing as the night rolls in
Daring all the ghosts to grin
Along the road
Just passed the dead toad
Yeah
We’re living on a bad omen
Haunted on the way home again
[Verse 2]
Porch light flickers when we shout
Someone’s name we never found
Wind in the curtains
Pale and thin
Like it wants to drag us in (oh yeah)
We trade our dares
We trade our scars
Throw our wishes at the dark
Your hand shaking into mine
We cross that crooked sign
[Chorus]
I swear the house is haunted
It’s all we ever wanted
Laughing as the night rolls in
Daring all the ghosts to grin
Along the road
Just passed the dead toad
Yeah
We’re living on a bad omen
Haunted on the way home again
[Bridge]
Do you see him in the frame?
Or am I calling out a name
That only answers in my head?
We’re half alive
We’re half undead (woah)
[Chorus]
I swear the house is haunted
It’s all we ever wanted
Laughing as the night rolls in
Daring all the ghosts to grin
Along the road
Just passed the dead toad
Yeah
We’re living on a bad omen
Haunted on the way home again
