Lyrics Mike Shinoda

Mike Shinoda

Ghosts

She said

This is not about a poltergeist

Not about a phantom that glows at night

But there are things we don’t know and I

Don’t have another choice but an open mind / oh

And I know what they’ll say

I’m trying to make sense of what no one can explain

But I’ve been having dreams that after I’m awake

Play out in reality the very next day

So I play along

I nod my head when they say I’m wrong

But each night falls and away I run

On the other side till the daylight comes

And when the lights go down

I see things I can’t explain

Calling out my name

The lights go down

Holding every memory close

Tonight is for our ghosts

Ghosts

This is not about you and me

I can’t bring back how it used to be

And I know what I do believe but

I’ve already seen what I couldn’t see / oh

So I play along

I nod my head when they say I’m wrong

But each night falls and away I run

On the other side till the daylight comes

And when the lights go down

I see things I can’t explain

Calling out my name

The lights go down

Holding every memory close

Tonight is for our ghosts

Ghosts

And when the lights go down

Is there something in the air

There but never there

The lights go down

Holding every memory close

Tonight is for our ghosts

Ghosts
