Ghosts Along 7th Street (versione 2)

Verse

Last of the neon's dying in a cloud of smoke

Barefoot on the pavement where the city used to choke

Streetlights burning red below, sirens fading out

This is how I learn to live with nothing left to doubt

Your perfume still clings to my collar like a ghost

Every windowpane reflects a version I've outgrown

I used to chase your shadow down 7th Street fast

Now the only thing that haunts me is what we never had

Pre-Chorus

So why do I keep on walking through these empty streets?

Is it just for you, or just because I'm not a memory yet?

Chorus

Ghosts along 7th Street, moving at the same old pace

Every single one of them is trying to take my place

I used to think that losing love was losing everything

But now I know what's left behind when the heart starts singing

Verse

Diner's closed but they're still serving up your face

Same coffee cup, same smile in a different frame

We used to talk until the sun came through the blinds

Now it's just me and these city streets that don't divide

You said I was too reckless, too wild for you to tame

So I went out and found another one, but now he's got your name on his doorframe

I know I'm not supposed to love someone who's gone

But there's something about the echo that just won't be wrong

Pre-Chorus

So why do I keep on walking through these empty streets?

Is it just for you, or just because I'm not a memory yet?

Chorus

Ghosts along 7th Street, moving at the same old pace

Every single one of them is trying to take my place

I used to think that losing love was losing everything

But now I know what's left behind when the heart starts singing

Bridge

Losing you wasn't losing me

It was just unmasking who I'm meant to be

Chorus

Ghosts along 7th Street, moving at the same old pace

Every single one of them is trying to take my place

I used to think that losing love was losing everything

But now I know what's left behind when the heart starts singing
