The Departed

The departed come and go, woah-oh
Ain’t it fun to be alone? No, no, no
Every sunrise, every rough night
Hush now, it’s alright; lay your head on what the world provides
Close up your mind, rest your sweet eyes
Shh, don’t cry, you’re fine
This is just another phase of life

We don’t know where they go when the lights burn out
The gate’s closed, woah-oh
Kiss me slow, no control, so goodbye for now
I’ll see you

They don’t pack a single bag, no-oh
And they rarely tell you when they need home
First their voice goes, then that small hope
But I swear, there’s no safer place for everyone to go

We don’t know where they go when the lights burn out
The gate’s closed, woah-oh
Kiss me slow, no control, so goodbye for now
I’ll see you
The little voices talk, they light up what we’ve lost
And all we do is stare up and wonder if they’re really listening
We don’t know, clinging close, breathing in the traces of you

The departed come and go, but we’re not invited, no
Woah-oh oh, no woah-oh oh
Little twist here in our road, but the hauntings keep my soul alive
Soul alive
Woah-oh oh oh, woah-oh oh oh, the departed come and go
Woah- oh oh oh, woah-oh oh oh, I don’t wanna be alone

We don’t know where they go when the lights burn out
The gate’s closed, woah-oh
Kiss me slow, no control, so goodbye for now
I’ll see you
The little voices talk, they light up what we’ve lost
And all we do is stare up and wonder if they’re really listening
We don’t know, clinging close, breathing in the traces of you
