[Intro] They keep crawling back... [Verse] Blue light shining in my room Middle school, I still remember you One text burned into my head: “You're a bipolar bitch.” Years went by, I thought I'd healed Thought those words had lost their feel But every now and then they come Crawling back when night has come [Pre-Chorus] Why does yesterday Still know my name? Why does something so far away Still feel the same? [Chorus] They're crawling back again Through the cracks beneath my skin Old ghosts from another time Coming back to occupy my mind I can leave them in the past I can swear that they won't last But every time I think I'm finally free They're crawling back to me [Verse] April came, you said goodbye Then I learned you'd wanted out the month before And suddenly I questioned everything Was I the only one who didn't know? Now I'm with someone new Trying to believe that love is true But last night I dreamed a woman said: “He is going to leave you.” [Pre-Chorus] Now I question every word Every silence, every sign Wondering what I'm missing When everything seems fine [Chorus] They're crawling back again Through the cracks beneath my skin Old ghosts from another time Coming back to occupy my mind I can leave them in the past I can swear that they won't last But every time I think I'm finally free They're crawling back to me [Instrumental solo] [Bridge] She disappeared, I walked inside A gothic mansion in the night “What's your name?” “Why are you here?” Then my old life appeared Three girlfriends, a favorite band Memories I couldn't understand I started talking about another dream— Then suddenly, I woke up screaming not literally.. [Chorus — Full instrumentation] They're crawling back again But I'm learning how to let them in Let them speak, let them fade Let them be the memories they became I can love without knowing I can stay without controlling I can face tomorrow without needing to know How the story ends before it starts to show
