[Short instrumental intro] ... [Verse 1] Tell me what I’m running from Tell me why I never stop Even when I get what I want Tell me what I’m running from [Verse 2] Every win got a cost to it Every scar got a name Everybody love the highlights Nobody carry the weight Everybody see the outcome Nobody see the climb Nobody see me staring at the ceiling Trying to quiet my mind [Verse 3] Mama gone when I was three All I got is what they told me Same eyes staring from the mirror Still don’t really know what that showed me Then life hit me with another one Lost the one who raised me up Eighteen came and the floor gave out Had to learn how to stand up [Verse 4] So I turned pain into drive Turned fear into fuel Turned every doubt into another reason Why I got something to prove Now every goal that I reach Turns into another one Every mountain that I climb Got a higher one above [Pre Chorus] Tell me is it hunger? Tell me is it fear? Tell me why the things I want Disappear when they get near Maybe that’s the ghost [Chorus] CHASING GHOSTS Running through the smoke Hands out reaching for something I can’t hold CHASING GHOSTS Every road I take Got me looking back at places that I know CHASING GHOSTS Tell me what I’m running toward Tell me what I’m running from CHASING GHOSTS Maybe I’ve been searching For something that was never gone [Verse 5] My sister moved away Built a life, I understand Still another empty room Still another change of plans Funny how the years move Funny how the people do One day everybody’s with you Next day everybody’s gone too [Verse 6] Meanwhile I’m still here Head down, chasing a dream Trying to build something bigger Than everything that happened to me Some nights I feel untouchable Some nights I feel stuck Some nights I swear I’m healing Then I wake right back up [Verse 7] Tell me why I need more Every time I get enough Why I build these walls so high Then wonder why nobody shows up Tell me why I want peace But I don’t know how to slow down Why I keep on chasing sunlight With my head inside the clouds [Bridge] What if I get everything? The crowd The streams The house The dream What if I wake up that day And still feel incomplete? What if the thing I’ve been chasing Ain’t waiting at the end for me? What if the ghost ain’t a person? What if the ghost is me? [Pre Chorus] So tell me What am I proving? Who am I trying to be? Why do I keep looking backward When the future’s in front of me? Tell me What am I missing? What am I trying to find? Cause I’ve been running for so long I forgot how to arrive [Chorus Solo] CHASING GHOSTS Running through the smoke But I finally see the shape of what I’ve known CHASING GHOSTS You were never in the roads You were never in the rooms You were never in the smoke CHASING GHOSTS You were every fear I carried Every wound I never showed CHASING GHOSTS And if the ghosts still follow me Let them Cause I’m still moving I’m still growing I’m still here [Outro] Tell me what I’m running from … Maybe I’m not running anymore
