Cavetown
Ghost in the Attic
[Verse 1]
There’s a house on the corner built in 2001
All the teen angst collecting like dust
Disappointing their fathers
Liquor and magazines
Stay through the weekend
Leave it to me
[Chorus]
And the ghost in the attic
Closer than a whisper
Now we see through each other
Wasn’t so cinematic
Could’ve been October
They forgot the foreclosure
Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-da-dum
Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-da-dum
[Verse 2]
People stare through the window
When they get a chance
Watch the ghost in the attic
Water dead plants
Causе nothing new grows here
Nothing to see
Just somе angsty teenagers
And what we buried
[Chorus]
And the ghost in the attic
Closer than a whisper
Now we see through each other
Wasn’t so cinematic
Could’ve been October
They forgot the foreclosure
[Bridge]
Part of me wishes I’d haunt you instead
Finding bones in the kitchen
I thought you were dead
It’s the sound from the ceiling
That’s starting to fade
More and more every time
I’m forgetting your name
There’s creaks in the floorboards
No one to blame
I’m the house on the corner
[Outro]
You’re the ghost in the attic
Closer than a whisper
Now we see through each other
Wasn’t so cinematic
Could’ve been October
They forgot the foreclosure
Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-da-dum
Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-da-dum
