Afraid Of Ghosts lyrics - Butch Walker

well there’s a man

who dips his feet in holy water

and so he throws the rest of his body in

says it’ll take more than wading

to keep the memories fading

I’m at least up to my neck in sin

he said I’m coming to terms with a ghost

learning to deal

I’m gonna take what scares me the most

and turn it into something real

I try to go to the hospice every Friday

Sit in traffic, thicker than blood

Try to know a man that I never really knew

And swim away from a forty year flood

and I’m coming to terms with a ghost

learning to deal

I’m gonna take just what scares me the most

and turn it into something real

Sometimes she takes a little longer getting ready

to pretend there's someone to show

did she ever find love

or did this town have enough

I kinda bet, she’ll never let you know

but i can tell from the caked on powdered makeup

covering wrinkles from smoking away tears

she wants it either way

and I want so bad to say

love yourself for once my dear

she said...

I bet she’s coming to terms with a ghost

learning to deal

gonna take just what scares her the most

turn it into something real
