Noah Kahan - Halloween lyrics

I'm sailin' away to a place I'm afraid of
The dawn isn't here, the sun hasn't rose
I'm drinkin' my days with
The coastal longshoreman
They got money to make and children back home
The last that I heard
You were down in New Orleans
Workin' your days at The Print
I drink 'til I drown and
I smoke 'til I'm burnin'
Your hands are all over my scent
I worry for you, you worry for me
And it's fine if we know we won't change
Collect every dream in these
Old empty pockets
In hope that I'll need them some day

But the wreckage of you
I no longer reside in
And the bridges have long since been burnt
The ash of the home that
I started the fire in
It starts to return to the Earth
I'm leavin' this town and
I'm changin' my address
I know that you'll come if you want
It's not Halloween
But the ghost you're dressed up as
Sure knows how to haunt, yes
It knows how to haunt

Mm hmm-mm

It's an ode to the hole that
I found myself stuck in
A song for the grave that I dug
There's a murder of crows in
The low light off Boston
And I see your face in each one
I'm losin' myself in the tiniest objects
I'm seein' my life on a screen
I'm hearin' your voice in
A strange foreign language
If only I learned how to speak

But the wreckage of you
I no longer reside in
The bridges have long since been burned
And the ash of the home that
I started the fire in
It starts to return to the Earth
I'm leavin' this town and
I'm changin' my address
I know that you'll come if you want
It's not Halloween
But the ghost you're dressed up as
Sure knows how to haunt, yeah
You know how to haunt

Mm hmm-mm (Ah ooh, ooh)
You know how to haunt know how to haunt
Mm hmm-mm (Ah ooh, ooh)
Mm hmm-mm (Ah ooh, ooh, ooh) ah, ooh
Mm hmm-mm (Ah ooh ooh, ooh ooh)

I know that you fear that
I'm wicked and weary
I know that you fearin' the end
But, I only tell the truth when
I'm sure that I'm lyin'
So I'm settin' sail once again
