The Gaslight Anthem - Old Haunts lyrics
[The Gaslight Anthem - Old Haunts lyrics]
Oh Cherry Bomb, you are a mystery
Exploding sparkling quiet nights
My teenage heart pumped all my misery, baby
To fingertips that might ignite
And all along you knew my story, didn't you?
And all night long I carried yours
Your blood was mixed with wine and robbery
Baby and left us always wanting more
So don't sing me your songs
About the good times
Those days are gone and you
Should just let them go
And god help the man who says
"If you'd have known me when"
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
(Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts)
Cherry Bomb, your love is surgery
Removing what you don't regard
And every breath felt like a funeral, baby
While you were packing up your car
And with the window down
I hear you're tired now
You borrowed everything and wore all
Your old welcomes out
Well, shame on you, my love
You sold your youth away
Memories for sinking ships that
Never would be saved
So don't sing me your songs
About the good times
Those days are gone and you
Should just let them go
God help the man who says "If
You'd have known me when"
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
And shame, shame, shame, shame on you
You kept your mind and heart and
Youth just like a tomb
Shame, shame, shame, shame on you
You kept your mind and heart and
Youth just like a tomb
Just like a tomb just like a tomb
Just like a tomb
And don't sing me your songs
About the good times
Those days are gone and you
Should just let them go
So god help the man who says
"If you'd have known me when"
Old haunts are for all those ghosts
And don't sing me your songs
About the good times
Those days are gone and you
Should just let them go
And god help the man who says
"If you'd have known me when"
God help the man who says "If
You'd have known me when" god help this man
Oh babe if you'd have known me when
Old haunts are all we've ever known
Exploding sparkling quiet nights
My teenage heart pumped all my misery, baby
To fingertips that might ignite
And all along you knew my story, didn't you?
And all night long I carried yours
Your blood was mixed with wine and robbery
Baby and left us always wanting more
So don't sing me your songs
About the good times
Those days are gone and you
Should just let them go
And god help the man who says
"If you'd have known me when"
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
(Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts)
Cherry Bomb, your love is surgery
Removing what you don't regard
And every breath felt like a funeral, baby
While you were packing up your car
And with the window down
I hear you're tired now
You borrowed everything and wore all
Your old welcomes out
Well, shame on you, my love
You sold your youth away
Memories for sinking ships that
Never would be saved
So don't sing me your songs
About the good times
Those days are gone and you
Should just let them go
God help the man who says "If
You'd have known me when"
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
And shame, shame, shame, shame on you
You kept your mind and heart and
Youth just like a tomb
Shame, shame, shame, shame on you
You kept your mind and heart and
Youth just like a tomb
Just like a tomb just like a tomb
Just like a tomb
And don't sing me your songs
About the good times
Those days are gone and you
Should just let them go
So god help the man who says
"If you'd have known me when"
Old haunts are for all those ghosts
And don't sing me your songs
About the good times
Those days are gone and you
Should just let them go
And god help the man who says
"If you'd have known me when"
God help the man who says "If
You'd have known me when" god help this man
Oh babe if you'd have known me when
Old haunts are all we've ever known
