A song about really admiring and loving someone but then questioning their intentions. Then this questioning goes off on a tangent and eventually deteriorates the relationship. The end of the bridge it shows the internal questioning and the progression of this relationship ending. And the whole really shows this ￼progression from - I thought you looked like happiness - to - Baby go away.

Do You

Ghost

I find you 
behind my eyes 
it’s as broken
as it is real 

i’ve cried 
like i’ve never cried before 
i think of you 
when 
the shower heats and the steam rusts the nails 
in the door 

sleeping to the noise of our favourite show 
in the background 
in the background 

waking up 
feeling old 
you haven’t met all the people that will love you 
just yet 
just yet 
start again 
no big deal 
but how will you know if it’s repeated or if it’s real 
what is real? 

i wonder 
in my soul 
how i’m made by the ocean 

children lie 
beneath our tree 
that we busted often in autumn 


waking up 
feeling old 
you haven’t met all the people that will love you 
just yet 
just yet 
start again 
no big deal 
but how will you know if it’s repeated or if it’s real 
what is real? 

each leaf 
tells me they’re sorry 
that they’re dying 

i ask the sky how beautiful things die
she didn’t answer 
the years go on
