[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
