Concrete Ghost Town

[Intro]
[Verse]
Tossed my Vans across the wire
Caught my sleeve on rusted fire
Empty pool and faded paint
Everything you said we ain't
You’re sleeping in a queen-size bed
While I’m still stuck inside my head
I’m dropping in on broken wood
Doing things you said we should
But now you’re gone and I’m just here
Drinking down a lukewarm beer
[Pre-Chorus]
The silence hits me like a brick
Your new life makes me feel so sick
You traded black for pastel blue
I’m still the mess that you once knew
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh, we’re the kids who never grew
Screaming songs until our faces turn blue
Underneath the flickering streetlights
Wasting all our summer nights
You sold your soul for a perfect view
But I’m still here without you
[Post-Chorus]
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
We’re the concrete ghosts
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
The ones you hate the most
[Verse]
Graduation felt like death
Heavy air and bated breath
You deleted every post
Now you’re just a pretty ghost
I found your sticker on the rail
A tiny piece of our betrayal
I’ll leave it there to rot and peel
Just to prove that we were real
[Pre-Chorus]
The silence hits me like a brick
Your new life makes me feel so sick
You traded black for pastel blue
I’m still the mess that you once knew
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh, we’re the kids who never grew
Screaming songs until our faces turn blue
Underneath the flickering streetlights
Wasting all our summer nights
You sold your soul for a perfect view
But I’m still here without you
[Bridge]
Is it better over there?
With your perfect, styled hair?
Do you miss the scrapes and bruises?
Winners acting just like losers?
I’m unpolished, I’m a wreck
With a chain around my neck
I’ll scream until my lungs give out
That’s what this was all about!
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh, we’re the kids who never grew
Screaming songs until our faces turn blue
Underneath the flickering streetlights
Wasting all our summer nights
You sold your soul for a perfect view
But I’m still here without you
[Post-Chorus]
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
We’re the concrete ghosts
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
The ones you hate the most
[Outro]
