You want it, you got it
Well that's fine
Just write me a postcard when you get home tonight
It was dark, and I cried
"There are things that we do in life to stay alive
And protect the ones we love from the sleepless nights
When the ghouls walk in"
The ghosts of my family sometimes haunt me in my sleep
And I know that they're fine but it still scares the hell out of me
Sure, it depends on what you want
What you're expecting and what you've got
But listen up, we're gonna be fine
'Cause everyone's afraid for their world to end
It's the secret song we all sing up in our heads
That says, "Let me fall in love or at least pretend
We'll spend the rest of our days up in Michigan
Don't let my life become the past
'Til I'm ready to let it rest
Is that really so much to ask
To walk to the end and then come back?"
Then the sidewalks were filled with all the people that I'd ever met
And they were yelling
"Hey Matt won't you come down and join in on this?"
So I did, in a run
But by the time I got there everyone was gone
Everyone except for my dad and mom
And they spoke to me
They said, "don't you hear our whispering
Every day when you wake up?
Don't forget to live your life
'Cause we love you
Yeah, we love you very much"
'Cause everyone's afraid for their world to end
It's the secret song we all sing up in our heads
That says, "Let me fall in love or at least pretend
We'll spend the rest of our days up in Michigan
Don't let my life become the past
'Til I'm ready to let it rest
Is that really so much to ask
To walk to the end and then come back?"
