I want to live like I did back then
With the stars in my eyes
And the blood from the heart on my pen
With my hood pulled up in the light of the night
Like a ghost like a light, like a ghost like a light
On the turnpike, baby

But you didn't lift my world off me
But you said let it go
So I did, now I see
My friends are gonna leave me
If they don't believe that they can save me

You don't have to live like that
You don't have to live like that

Like a bolt of lightning
You stop, life moves on
Then you wake up frightened
Saying, "What's going on?"
"What's going on?"

I'm waking up tired
No god has appeared
I ain't never gonna find my faith
If I stay here

So sorry for the things I said
But a lot of me died when a part of her did (part of her did)
So sorry for the things I said
But a lot of me died when a part of her did (part of her did)
Yeah, baby

But you didn't lift my world off me
But you said let it go
So I did, now I see
My friends are gonna leave me
If they don't believe that they can save me

You don't have to live like that
You don't have to live like that

Like a bolt of lightning
You stop, life moves on
Then you wake up frightened
Saying, "What's going on?"
"What's going on?"

I'm waking up tired
No god has appeared
I ain't never gonna find my faith
If I stay here
