Got lost in a familiar face
Staring back at me
And those sunken eyes
They're like a time machine
Too many years, too much has changed
To bring you up to speed
I'm a shadow
Living inside your memory

We went on our way
Full of dreams in our foolish heads
Said we'd come back someday
We keep up, but it's all pretend

I used to run with the ghosts of my hometown
We never talk, but they always seem to hang around
I say a prayer for the ghosts of my hometown
I get lost, but I'm never gonna let you down

I'm lost in a familiar place
Sold on a guarantee
But an elevated life
It wasn't for me

I went on my way
Made an escape to start again
You're watching it on display
Do you laugh when you think of where it all began?
I hope

I used to run with the ghosts of my hometown
We never talk, but they always seem to hang around
I say a prayer for the ghosts of my hometown
I get lost, but I'm never gonna let you down

Head full of noise
My nose pressed to the stone
I give up my hope
We're never gonna fill the void
It's never gonna feel like home
I thought you might like to know
I'm never gonna let you go

I used to run with the ghosts of my hometown
We never talk, but they always seem to hang around
I say a prayer for the ghosts of my hometown
I get lost, but I'm never gonna let you down
I used to run with the ghosts of my hometown
We never talk, but they always seem to hang around
I say a prayer for the ghosts of my hometown
I get lost, but I'm never gonna let you down
