Holy Ghost
Wiki:
This song was written in conjunction with “Holy Ghost.” It’s about falling in love and having that surge of emotions unintentionally dredge up some old stuff you weren’t necessarily thinking about. Luckily, the person I fell in love also ended up doing some dredging, and together we dredged up a big steamy pile of ocean junk together. - Jake Ewald
Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Find it hard to believe tonight In a curiously well-kept house built before I was born This year, we're gonna stamp out the sorry feeling Rain on summer vacation Five blocks from Tasker-Morris Station Fucked for the ride home If I can't find two bills To rub together before [Chorus] Midnight rolls around I thought you heard me sing your spirit's sound But you turned in early Left the TV flickering its staged romance across your face [Verse 2] Said goodbye from the front porch I always wonder if you're smiling at us or if you're looking away I'd ask, but either way, I feel sorry for you Locked your love in a screenshot They all work that way And I've been wishing I could say that I don't The selfish side likes to think my execution's more Of an honest one These artists all cut cloth with underscored conviction Blacked out friction flies me back to Baltimore to wait for you But I'm stuck here, too [Chorus] Until midnight rolls around I thought you heard me sing your spirit's sound But you turned in early Left the TV flickering its staged romance across your face
