[Verse 1] I stood at the fork With my hands in my pockets Every road had a price And I heard it when I locked it No choice is a choice When the clock starts to fade I watched the minute pass And it took what I saved [Pre-Chorus] And that hurts Like a door in my chest You don't leave it alone You just learn with the rest [Chorus] Ghosts at the door They know my name Ghosts at the door I let them stay Every road I missed Still calls to me Ghosts at the door Won't let me be [Verse 2] There's a face in the mirror That looks more like the weight Every yes I was scared of Turned into a closed gate I keep hearing the ones Who are gone from this room Like they left their soft shoes By the edge of the moon [Pre-Chorus] And that hurts Like a light you can't hold You can count what you lost But you can't count the cold hurts Like a light you can't hold You can count what you lost But you can't count the cold [Interlude] [male voice in the style of Fred Schneider]"Kid, don't stare too long At a fork in the road with your shoes half-off [female voice] He tapped the ash on the bench by the bus stop sign [[male voice in the style of Fred Schneider]"Pick the mess you can still make right" [back to female voice] I laughed like I knew what he meant by that but my jaw stayed tight and my hands stayed flat [male voice in the style of Fred Schneider] "You don't get clean hands, you get a life And some nights you just choose the better kind of bruise" [back to female voice] " Ghosts at the door They know my name Ghosts at the door I let them stay Every road I missed Still calls to me Ghosts at the door Won't let me be [back to female voice] [Chorus] " Ghosts at the door They know my name Ghosts at the door I let them stay Every road I missed Still calls to me Ghosts at the door Won't let me be [Bridge] Maybe growing is this Learning loss by its shape Learning time doesn't wait Learning love leaves a trace So I carry the ache Like a key in my fist If I don't choose the turn Then the turn still exists [Final Chorus] Ghosts at the door They know my name Ghosts at the door I let them stay Every road I missed Still calls to me Ghosts at the door Won't let me be Ghosts at the door I hear them breathe Ghosts at the door Inside of me I keep moving on But I don't outrun Ghosts at the door Until I'm done
