[Intro - guitar riff twice] [Verse 1 - soft, loose vocal] We rode our bikes at night Past the house without a light You said someone died inside I knew you lied I knew you lied Left our bikes out in the street Dead leaves underneath our feet You went first, I followed you Like I always used to do [Instrumental - guitar riff] [Verse 2] We wrote our names behind the door Don't know what we wrote them for You drew a ghost above my head I drew a heart by yours instead Stayed until the streetlights came Running home before the rain You were laughing next to me Like we'd always been [Chorus - simple sing-song hook] Meet me at the witchhouse After dark Meet me at the witchhouse In the yard I'll wait by the old fence Like I used to do If the house is still there Maybe you are too [Post-Chorus - guitar riff, distant “ooh”] [Verse 3] Drove that way the other day Someone painted it all gray New white door and yellow light Nothing scary left inside Saw two bikes against the wall They looked just like ours, that's all For a second I was back Then I wasn't Just like that [Chorus] Meet me at the witchhouse After dark Meet me at the witchhouse In the yard I'll wait by the old fence Like I used to do If the house is still there Maybe you are too [Bridge - drums drop, guitar only] We were scared of everything Ghosts and basements, broken swings Funny what you're scared of then I'd give anything To be scared like that again [Final Chorus - same groove, slightly cracked vocal] Meet me at the witchhouse After dark Meet me at the witchhouse In the yard You don't need a flashlight I remember what to do Maybe I don't miss that house Maybe I miss you [Outro - guitar riff alone] Someone left the porch light on We would've hated that.
