Ghost Town

Let me tell you about something that I can't stand
It seems no matter where we go you've got your phone in your hand
I mean, I thought that we were here together
But all you care about is that your life
Looks so much better than most
It's got me feeling like a ghost
As I just follow by your side and you continue to post
How perfect your little life can be
God forbid you spent a moment of your time with me

Well it's just not okay
All you're doing is ignoring the moment
So you can keep pretending somewhere, somehow, you're important

Honestly man, it's like an obsession (obsession)
I never see you in person
It's always through a screen, filtered to be pristine
But that's just not who you're meant to be

Hey, hey
Just put your phone away
And we can live in the moment for one goddamn day
Hey, hey
Just put the thing down
And I can feel some real connection in this ghost town

So here's what I see, right
You keep comparing yourself to all these rich types
And now you feel a little nervous
Why do you have limitations, what a damn disservice
So you just keep on spending
Keep on faking that your life is so amazing
But you know that in your heart you're feeling cold
But you won't change it, you'll just do what you've been told
How about for one day we break the fucking mold

Honestly man, it's like an obsession (obsession)
I never see you in person
It's always through a screen, filtered to be pristine
But that's just not who you're meant to be

Hey, hey
Just put your phone away
And we can live in the moment for one goddamn day
Hey, hey
Just put the thing down
And I can feel some real connection in this ghost town

I swear I'll give it up
I'll stop pretending that it means so much
I'll stop comparing myself to all the others
I'll tell myself it's fake and I'll stop living under cover

No more lies
