[Verse 1] Old names gather at the gate Like moths around a porch light Some I held and let go late Some never crossed into my life [Pre-Chorus] You were almost, you were then You were letters never sent I can hear you call me back But the road runs past the bend [Chorus] Goodbye, goodbye, ghosts I couldn’t keep I’m done asking shadows not to leave All the love I lost, the love that never grew I lay it down and let the morning through Goodbye, goodbye—I’m walking on I can be the place I’m coming home to [Verse 2] Empty chairs still know your shape A whole life lived in maybe I won’t make a shrine of what escaped Or blame the child I used to be [Bridge] Let the locked doors stay behind me Let the almosts lose their names There is kindness here to find me There is one heart I can save [Final Chorus] Goodbye, goodbye, ghosts I couldn’t keep I’m done asking shadows not to leave All the love I lost, the love that never grew I lay it down and let the morning through Goodbye, goodbye—I’m walking on I can be the place I’m coming home to
