The Grease and the Ghost

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rusted wrenches in a plastic bin
Oil deep beneath my skin
Coffee cups from the Exxon station
Driving toward a new destination
I left the garage door wide open
Leaving every promise broken
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard the monitor beep in my sleep
A secret that I couldn't keep
I traded your breath for a melody
Now I’m the ghost in this tragedy
[Chorus]
So let the engine scream tonight
I’m coming home to make it right
Beyond the static and the stage
I’m turning back the heavy page
Can you forgive the man I was?
Just because, just because
[Verse]
Faded wristbands in the glove box drawer
I don’t want to sing these songs no more
The neon lights were just a lie
Underneath a hollow sky
My hands are shaking on the wheel
Trying to remember how to feel
[Chorus]
So let the engine scream tonight
I’m coming home to make it right
Beyond the static and the stage
I’m turning back the heavy page
Can you forgive the man I was?
Just because, just because
[Bridge]
The silence in the hallway
The things I didn't say
I was chasing shadows in the dark
While you were fighting for a spark
[Solo]
[Chorus]
So let the engine scream tonight
I’m coming home to make it right
Beyond the static and the stage
I’m turning back the heavy page
Can you forgive the man I was?
Just because, just because
[Post-Chorus]
It’s the grease and the ghost
The things I miss the most
I’m chilled to the bone
On the road all alone
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
[Outro]
