Ghost season

[CHORUS]
It’s ghost season again
I see you in the cold between the streetlights
Ghost season, old friend
You don’t visit me you just haunt the nights
And I can’t close the curtain
Can’t kill what I’m feeling
Every time October rolls in
It’s ghost season

[VERSE 2]

Boxed up all your records except one
The one I swore I never even liked
Now it’s the only thing I play on Sundays
Funny how that works, funny how that bites
I changed my locks but kept your parking spot
Don’t ask me why I haven’t filled it in
Guess some empty spaces feel like something
Better than just starting over again

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
And I keep running into people who knew us
They smile too careful when they ask how I’ve been
Like I’m a crime scene with caution tape around it
Like loving you was somewhere I shouldn’t have been

[BRIDGE]
(hushed, almost spoken)
I don’t believe in all that
The haunting and the holding on
But something about autumn light through dirty glass
Makes me think you’re not completely gone
Just living somewhere parallel
A frequency I almost catch
And October’s just the month the signal
Almost comes back
(swells)
Almost — almost — almost

[FINAL CHORUS]
It’s ghost season again
And I think I’m starting to like it
Ghost season, old friend
Maybe haunting’s just loving from a distance
I can’t close the curtain
Don’t want to stop feeling
Every time October rolls in
It’s ghost season
It’s just ghost season
It’s only ghost season

[OUTRO]
(hummed, dissolving)
October… October…
The signal almost comes back
Almost

[VERSE 1] October came early this year Or maybe I just noticed it more Left the window open on purpose Trying to let something out through the door Your voicemail’s still saved on my phone Not because I play it — I don’t It’s just nice to know that a version of you Still exists somewhere that I won’t [PRE-CHORUS] And I keep having dreams where nothing happens We’re just sitting in that parking lot Talking about nothing like we used to God I miss the nothing that we got [CHORUS] It’s ghost season again I see you in the cold between the streetlights Ghost season, old friend You don’t visit me you just haunt the nights And I can’t close the curtain Can’t kill what I’m feeling Every time October rolls in It’s ghost season [VERSE 2] Boxed up all your records except one The one I swore I never even liked Now it’s the only thing I play on Sundays Funny how that works, funny how that bites I changed my locks but kept your parking spot Don’t ask me why I haven’t filled it in Guess some empty spaces feel like something Better than just starting over again [PRE-CHORUS 2] And I keep running into people who knew us They smile too careful when they ask how I’ve been Like I’m a crime scene with caution tape around it Like loving you was somewhere I shouldn’t have been [CHORUS] It’s ghost season again I see you in the cold between the streetlights Ghost season, old friend You don’t visit me you just haunt the nights And I can’t close the curtain Can’t kill what I’m feeling Every time October rolls in It’s ghost season [BRIDGE] (hushed, almost spoken) I don’t believe in all that The haunting and the holding on But something about autumn light through dirty glass Makes me think you’re not completely gone Just living somewhere parallel A frequency I almost catch And October’s just the month the signal Almost comes back (swells) Almost — almost — almost [FINAL CHORUS] It’s ghost season again And I think I’m starting to like it Ghost season, old friend Maybe haunting’s just loving from a distance I can’t close the curtain Don’t want to stop feeling Every time October rolls in It’s ghost season It’s just ghost season It’s only ghost season [OUTRO] (hummed, dissolving) October… October… The signal almost comes back Almost
