Strum
D-DU-UDU
 And out of our  old apartment
 And I  know things changed but I'm not sure when
 I  guess you'd call this regression
 I  left a real job and a girlfriend
 I  convinced myself that I'm brave enough for all of this
 Well,  I spent a whole year  in airports
 And  the floor feels  like home
 Oh,
 at least we're never alone
 I  lost track  of the time zones  and I'd call but you know
Oh,
I'm  running  on empty
 The late nights  and the long drives start to get to me
 I'm just  so tired
I  spent this year  as a ghost and I'm not sure what I'm looking for
 A voice on  a phone that you rarely answer  anymore
I  came in here alone
Came  in here alone
 But that doesn't scare me like it did seven months ago
 I  spent this year as a ghost and I'm not sure where home is anymore
 
 Been on a steady fast food diet
 Like we're this  generation's Morgan Spurlock
 But we  don't admit defeat
 My body  feels rejected, I can't say that I blame it
My  heart keeps saying stay  young
My  lower back seems to disagree
 I unrolled  a cheap cotton blanket on an old dirty couch
Oh,
I  felt the  year start to wind down
 I can't stand  any dead space
 Empty beds  bum me out
 Oh,
I  spent  this year as a ghost and I'm not sure what I'm looking for
 A voice on  a phone that you rarely answer  anymore
I  came in here alone
Came  in here alone
 But that doesn't scare me like it did seven months ago
 I  spent this year as a ghost and I'm not sure where home is anymore
 
 x2
 I came out swinging from a South Philly basement
 Caked  in stale beer and sweat  under half-lit fluorescents
 And I spent  the winter writing songs  about getting better
 Well if  I'm being honest, I'm getting  there
 I came  out swinging from a  South  Philly  basement
 Caked  in stale beer and sweat  under half-lit fluorescents
 I spent the  winter writing songs about  getting better
 And if  I'm being honest, I'm getting  there
 I came  out swinging from a  South  Philly  basement
 Caked  in stale beer and sweat  under half-lit fluorescents
 I spent the  winter writing songs about  getting better
 And if  I'm being honest, I'm getting  there
