[Verse 1]
Saw your shadow by the ride
On the painted horse inside
Cotton candy on my coat
Still can’t let your name go
The ring toss lights keep spinning
Like my head since you went missing
I laugh, but it comes out cracked
Every game just sends me back
[Pre-Chorus]
And the bumper cars keep crashing
While my chest keeps on flashing
One more round, one more sign
You’re still riding through my mind
[Chorus]
Ferris wheel ghost, you spin
Ferris wheel ghost, come in
I try to leave, you pull me back
Right through the noise, right through the black
Ferris wheel ghost, don’t go
Ferris wheel ghost, I know
I’m still here at the gate
Watching love get cheaped out late
[Verse 2]
Mirror maze, I hit the wall
Read your face in every stall
Popcorn grease on my hands
Like the way I couldn’t land
Hear the brass and paper stream
See your jacket in the beam
You were gone before I knew
Still this whole place looks like you
[Pre-Chorus]
And the drop tower’s rising
But my heart keeps revising
Every joke, every lie
Every kiss you left behind
[Chorus]
Ferris wheel ghost, you spin
Ferris wheel ghost, come in
I try to leave, you pull me back
Right through the noise, right through the black
Ferris wheel ghost, don’t go
Ferris wheel ghost, I know
I’m still here at the gate
Watching love get cheaped out late
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Ticket stub in my fist
I keep folding, I resist
If I scream, will you fade?
If I run, am I saved?
Turn the music up, let it shake
Let the whole boardwalk break
If you loved me, say it once
If you don’t, then let me burn
[Final Chorus]
Ferris wheel ghost, you spin
Ferris wheel ghost, come in
I try to leave, you pull me back
Right through the noise, right through the black
Ferris wheel ghost, don’t go
Ferris wheel ghost, I know
I’m still here at the gate
Watching love get cheaped out late
Ferris wheel ghost, you spin (you spin)
Ferris wheel ghost, I’m done (I’m done)
When the prizes fall and the crowd moves on
I’ll be gone, I’ll be gone
