Standing under this New Jersey sky
The sun beams across my face
It's been a year since I last walked through this place
Everything has stayed the same
At least in comparison to this picture frame
A living photograph which
I never want to wake up from
I'll take my time to make the day drag on
I'll savour every second

And I,
I dont want to miss you anymore
This feeling has left me empty and exposed
But why I'm here,
No one has to know

I've felt this way for way too long
But now I'm back where I belong

Standing under these Atlantic stars
This breeze blows across my frown
It's been to long since I've walked through this town
The sun sets with my memory
And I try not to forget
But gray skies fill my hollow eyes
On the nights when I'm away
its just not my choice to stay

And I,
I dont want to miss you anymore
This feeling has left me empty and exposed
But why I'm here,
No one has to know

I've felt this way for way too long
But now I'm back where I belong

Theres a ghost living in these streets
Haunting every alleyway
And sleeping in the sand
I'm chasing a ghost that got away
Theres a ghost living in the streets

And I,
I dont want to miss you anymore
This feeling has left me empty and exposed
But why I'm here,
No one has to know

I've felt this way for way too long
But now I'm back where I belong

I'm chasing a ghost that got away
