lyrics

There's a ghost inside my sweater
Feel it breathing on my neck
It feels like best intentions
And vague signals that were sent

Now the flood light flickers,
Won't replace it til its out
The kind of half-assed warning,
That i can never shout

It's the fireworks exploding
So that you'll rest assured
That when the radios drowned out,
You'll remember what you learned

I'm gunna button to the top like a kennedy
I'm gunna sit up straight like my mom told me
I'm gunna bite my tongue keep my shoulders squared

Hand following the wall
Keeps me steady in the dark
And I'll always look away
I might be dizzy but you know i'll never sway

The lights that hit your forehead
And swallowed up your eyes
The river that was flowing
Out your throat into the sky

The chemicals that hit
And run from ear to ear
The country song you sing
When there's nothing else to hear
