Paper Ghosts

[Verse 1] Orange on the porch rail Paper ghosts in the yard You come out in your best mask I can tell it took heart The bowl by the doorway Full of sugar and doubt You grab a handful, grinning Then the whole block shouts [Pre-Chorus] Tell me your name Or keep it hidden Tonight the rules Are half-forgiven [Chorus] Halloween, Halloween Run with me tonight Halloween, Halloween Under busted moonlight Candy in your pocket Black cat on the screen Halloween, Halloween That’s my favorite scene [Verse 2] I hear boots on the sidewalk Little bells in the dark Kids like tiny tornadoes Drawing maps with sparks Your costume’s got me staring Who knew fear could look so clean You spin once, then you laugh at me Like you own the whole street [Pre-Chorus] Tell me your name Or keep it hidden Tonight the rules Are half-forgiven [Chorus] Halloween, Halloween Run with me tonight Halloween, Halloween Under busted moonlight Candy in your pocket Black cat on the screen Halloween, Halloween That’s my favorite scene [Bridge] [Breakdown] We trade scares and secrets We trade treats and thrills You and me, we’re reckless On the hill [Chorus] Halloween, Halloween Run with me tonight Halloween, Halloween Under busted moonlight Candy in your pocket Black cat on the screen Halloween, Halloween That’s my favorite scene [Outro] Orange on the porch rail Paper ghosts in the yard You come out in your best mask And you steal my heart
