Ghost Back Home

V1:

Been a while since I looked in the rearview

Spent so long chasing something new

New faces, new spaces, found a new pace

No longer the one I used to be

A canvas of change from what I've seen

Confidence found in the unknown

Ditched my shell that's been outgrown

Chorus:

Scared to make the long trip home

Back to all the faces and the places

That got me going

Back there I'm tightly defined

Fall back into old roles

Forgetting all my new goals

Buried in the expectations

Of a ghost stuck in that location

Buried in the complications

Of my ghost back home

V2:

What if I'm someone they no longer recognize

'Cuz I'm no longer that guy

The one they used to know

Found myself on the open road

And wrote that chapter's final notes

Chorus:

Scared to make the long trip home

Back to all the faces and the places

That got me going

Back there I'm tightly defined

Fall back into old roles

Forgetting all my new goals

Buried in the expectations

Of a ghost stuck in that location

Buried in the complications

Of my ghost back home

Bridge:

A part of me is always there

Scraps of memories hang in the air

Chapters printed in the book

My fingerprints on every nook

Memorialized in pictures on the wall

Chorus:

Scared to make the long trip home

Back to all the faces and the places

That got me going

Back there I'm tightly defined

Fall back into old roles

Forgetting all my new goals

Buried in the expectations

Of a ghost stuck in that location

Buried in the complications

Of my ghost back home

Outro:

Introducing the new sides of me

All the things I've done and seen

New growth fresh and green

Without the old there's nothing new

Liberated, set me free

No longer haunted by, my ghost back home
