Ghost Town

You said you had to see it in real life to know
What it's like, but I never got the chance
They held our world so careless
All my dreams were riding on this
But I didn't see it slipping from their hands

The city died that night, but I'm still searching...

I see lights in the sky, but the stars have all died
Now you're the only thing that keeps this sorry place alive
We'll remember the songs and we'll echo the sounds
and we'll walk the silent streets
Walk the streets of your ghost town

You said the seams were tearing, but I shook my head and hid
didn't seen the signs until it was too late
I knew it'd be a long time, but I didn't know how long
Forever is a long long time to wait

The streets might be busy, the sidewalks are crowded
But there's nothing here anymore
All that we have are the same old refrains
to the sound of the closing doors

The city died that night
but I'm still searching...
