chasing ghosts

Verse 1

Sunburnt nights on a dashboard clock

Radio static, we never stopped

Running red lights in our hometown

Swore we’d leave but we’re still around

Your name’s carved in a bathroom stall

Promises written, then left to fall

I’m older now but I still feel

Like seventeen was the most real

Pre-Chorus

I tried to grow up, tried to move on

But the past keeps singing every song

Chorus

I’m neck deep in the memories

Of who we were and who I’d be

If I never learned to let you go

Still chasing ghosts down empty roads

Hands up, heart out, scream it loud

We were lost but we were proud

I’m neck deep in yesterday

And it still feels like home to me

Verse 2

Cracked screen phone full of regrets

Late-night calls I still don’t delete yet

Every “maybe” turned into “what if”

Every goodbye still hits like this

We burned bright but we burned fast

Thought forever meant it would last

Now I’m stuck between then and now

Trying to figure myself out

Pre-Chorus

I swear I’m fine, yeah I’m okay

Just don’t ask me about yesterday

Chorus

I’m neck deep in the memories

Of who we were and who I’d be

If I never learned to let you go

Still chasing ghosts down empty roads

Hands up, heart out, scream it loud

We were lost but we were proud

I’m neck deep in yesterday

And it still feels like home to me

Bridge

If growing up means letting go

Then tell me why this hurts me so

I found myself but lost my youth

Somewhere between the lies and truth

Final Chorus

I’m neck deep in the memories

Still drowning in what used to be

But I’ll carry this like a scar

A reminder of who we are

So turn it up, let’s scream it loud

For every kid who didn’t back down

I’m neck deep but I’m still alive

And I’ll be alright, yeah I’ll survive
