[Intro] Hey, little ghost I've been watching you Come on... Tell me from the start [Verse 1] You said, "I won't lose to temptation" Like saying it could make it true Then he'd smile that stupid smile And there went your resolve again Jet ski cutting through the water God, you both looked happy then So much you were trying to forget But that summer stayed beautiful If this really is our last sky Can I stay beside you a little more? Funny, you knew you had to let it end Still, "don't let go" got stuck in your throat [Hook 1] Cry it out, cry it out — that's alright! Yeah, of course you cried You loved him, didn't you? You don't have to force yourself to forget Go ahead, cry today Cry it out, cry it out — that's alright! Tomorrow... just one faith step And if even that's too much? Eh, there's always tomorrow [Verse 2] Just one faith step forward No idea where it leads yet Take the love, take the hurt That's far enough for today Next time, step on the devil's neck "No more tears!" you laughed out loud "I'm totally fine!" you yelled Your friends just smiled like, "Sure you are" Midnight Cadillac, windows down Leave the past somewhere behind You started laughing just to forget Then somewhere... the laugh became real [Hook 2] Laugh it out, laugh it out — there you go! Oh? there it is You actually smiled ...okay, okay we all saw that tough-girl act earlier You said you didn't need anybody while your people stayed right by your side Laugh it out, laugh it out — there you go! But look at you now That's a real smile No need to fake it No need to prove it Keep going Your people are right here [Verse 3] That fading Polaroid summer Doesn't have to lose his smile too You finally said, "We had a good time" And put it somewhere safe inside Now it's your turn — one more faith step You don't have to fix it all I found my way through somehow So this time, I'm cheering for you "Here we go," and out the door Nobody knows where we're going Somewhere after you stopped trying to move on You realized you'd already moved [Hook 3] Look at you, look at you — you're back now! Wait... Look at you You're actually okay now Old Polaroids and you're laughing at them And now you're the one giving somebody else a little push Look at you, look at you — you're back now! You kept the memories but lost the weight You found your people You found your way That's nice Hey... welcome back [Verse 4] No filter — don't delete that one Yeah, the weird one, keep it Even the me who forgot how to pose Finally thought, "No... this one's good" Through another storm, still shining Let them talk, let them say what they want You didn't become someone who never gets hurt You learned you can hurt and still be you Missed one turn, took the long way Guess the road had other plans Then you found a little sunshine anyway And thought, "Hey... lucky day" [Final Hook] That's alright, that's alright — you're alright! Yeah, that's fine You're fine like that Took a wrong turn? Who says you gotta turn back? That's alright, that's alright — you're alright! The days you cried The days you laughed You brought them all with you and still made it here Hey, little ghost You look pretty happy today So maybe... that's enough, right? [Outro - Spoken] You took the long way, but look at everything you found along the way. And hey... there are people who really see you. So you're gonna be okay. Whether you change or you don't, tomorrow's gonna show up anyway. You'll figure it out. With lots of love.
