Ghosts Single (Oct. 2022)
Ghosts is a wonderfully haunting song that is a special to us. It's the first song that Spencer brought forward to us and it forged the definition of the the direction we were headed. We've been through several arrangements since that first basement session, but it ended up very close to the original.
It is fitting that it stood out on it's own and is not on the forthcoming album, "Put It Out" (coming 11- 02 - 23!!! )
GHOSTS
If I - can stop just one heart - from breaking, in two Then I won’t mind - wasting my time – on you
If I could stop. Stop making,
The same mistakes, the ones that are making me a fool
Then we start living, the way lovers should
Drunk on the hope - that we hoped that love would Haunted by ghosts only lovers can see
if you want to see ghosts - you got to believe - in love
I , got to, I got to, got to hold on to you
Like it’s our last day, Baby - our last day, honey - on earth – naw I Got to try, I got to try, Baby - a little harder
Let down your guard and love with your heart - for starters
With a head full of heart and a heart full of stars Lovers that stumble like drunks to the bar
Love is - a ghost - that’s been haunting me Love is - a ghost - that only my lover can see
If I - can stop just one heart from breaking, in two
Then I won’t mind - wasting my time – on you
If I can just stop. Stop making
The same mistakes - the ones that are making me a fool
Then we start living, the way lovers should
Drunk on the hope that we hoped that love would
Haunted by ghosts only lovers can see
Cause if you want to see ghosts you got to believe - in love
Love is - a ghost - that’s been haunting me Love is - a ghost - that only my lover can see
