We Were Ghosts Songtext
von CTZN

Do you remember?
The lights, the rain
The way we loved
Like nothing could change

Do you remember?
How bright it bloomed
A little forever
Gone too soon

We were dancing through the summer
With the radio loud
Your hand on my waist
In the middle of the crowd

You laughed like thunder
I burned like a flame
Young enough to swear
The world would stay the same


We had cheap wine kisses
And midnight fights
Said things we didn′t mean
Under kitchen lights

But every door we slammed
Every tear we cried
Only pulled me closer
Back to your side

And I miss the way we were
Even when it hurt
All the beautiful and broken
All the heaven, all the dirt

We were ghosts in the afterglow
Running wild where the streetlights shone
Two hearts caught in a faded dream
Loving hard in the in-between

We were ghosts, but we felt so real
A love too young for the world to steal
I still reach for the life we knew
I still miss what I was with you


We wrote our names in window steam
Watched them disappear
Made forever sound easy
When you whispered in my ear

We had old songs playing
On a scratched-up stereo
Talked about the places
We would someday go

A house by the water
A porch light blue
A little more time
For me and you

We made plans like prayers
Soft and bright
Never knew the morning
Had already borrowed the night

And I miss the way we were
Even when it hurt
All the beautiful and broken
All the heaven, all the dirt

We were ghosts in the afterglow
Running wild where the streetlights shone
Two hearts caught in a faded dream
Loving hard in the in-between

We were ghosts, but we felt so real
A love too young for the world to steal
I still reach for the life we knew
I still miss what I was with you

Then came a twist of fate
A sound we couldn't name
The sky went dark above us
And the windows shook like rain

I remember your fingers
Slipping out of mine
The streetlights bending sideways
The moon cut from the sky

Your mouth was moving
But the wind stole every word
I tried to call you back to me
But I don′t think you heard

Then silence hit the avenue
Soft as falling snow
I opened up my eyes again
Somewhere I didn't know

And every night since then
I walk that same old room
The glass, the rain, the radio
The shape of me and you

We were ghosts in the afterglow
Running wild where the streetlights shone
Two hearts caught in a faded dream
Still reaching through the in-between

We were ghosts, but we felt so real
A love too young for the world to steal
I still reach for the life we knew
I still miss what I was with you

Do you remember?
The lights, the rain
The way we loved
Like nothing could change

Do you remember?
Before we knew
We were ghosts
Me and you
