(Verse) A second before the instant, you know Second after you thought you’ll let it go Comes on like a flip to switch, You were feeling sick, you were feeling all alone. Heard it like a clear and ringing bell, Heard it like you wanted it so well. Sounded like a far off train, Like a siren sing to break you off the spell. (Chorus) The ghosts all go blind, And I can see you this time. (Verse) You used to watch yourself climb up the stairs You watch yourself breathe in the autumn air. Couldn’t recognize your face, I found you here but I could not find you there. I watch you fix your gaze upon the street, I watch you place your hands upon my knees. You look at me and cross your eyes, Cross your heart and tell me we’re alive. (Chorus) The ghosts all go blind, And I can see you this time.
