Analysis of Ghost town vibes



Find out, the things that make you nostalgic
no longer stand, in the places they did
Ivy creeps on the signs, a lost magic
from a relationship, expertly hid

Old weeds have grown, tangling and winding
through weathered stone, it's own stories to tell
It wasn't perfect, who are you reminding
place me down to sleep, deep inside this well

Refuse to be placed on your back burner
this place is a relic, give over to time
I'm no side piece, no fixer upper
what draws you back to the scene of the crime

I think that your love, haunted me the most
so it seems fitting, you became a ghost
