lyrics

Maybe there's a ghost in my stereo
But maybe I don't know about the things you know
Maybe I don't want to make history
To fill my empty tigers or the roaring sea

Because it isn't about me anymore
It's about you and the night and the vanishing light and the rest
It isn't about me anymore
But when I disappear, you'll know that I did my best

Maybe there's a ghost in my stereo
But maybe I can't wait to just let it go
Maybe all I want is to disagree
With my empty tigers and the roaring sea

Because it isn't about me anymore
It's about the how and the why and the lack of supply and the rest
It isn't about me anymore
I thought that this was my house, but I'm only a guest

Find me a quiet place to sleep
Find me a quiet place to die
This is the promise I will keep
If you can give me one last try

Maybe there's a ghost in my stereo
Because baby, if there is, I'll never let it go
I guess I figured out that it's a part of me
All of my empty tigers and the roaring sea
