You want it, you got it; well that's fine
Just write me a postcard when you get home tonight
It was dark and I cried,
"There are things that we do in life to stay alive
And protect the ones we love from sleepless nights when the ghouls walk in"
The ghosts of my family sometimes haunt me in my sleep
And I know that they're fine, but it still scares the hell out of me
Sure, it depends on what you want
What you're expecting, and what you've got
But listen up, we're gonna be fine
'Cause everyone's afraid for their world to end.
It's the secret song we all sing up in our heads
That says, "Let me fall in love or at least pretend
We'll spend the rest of our days up in Michigan
Don't let my life become the past
'Til I'm ready to let it rest
Is that really so much ask,
To walk to the end and then come back?"
The sidewalks were filled with all the people that I'd ever met
And they were yelling "Hey Matt, won't you come down and join in on this?"
So I did, in a run
But by the time I got there everyone was gone
Everyone except for my dad and mom
And they spoke to me
They said, "Don't you hear our whispering
Every day when you wake up?
Don't forget to live your life because we love you
Yeah, we love you very much."
And everyone's afraid for their world to end
It's the secret song we all sing up in our heads
That says, "Let me fall in love or at least pretend
We'll spend the rest of our days up in Michigan
Don't let my life become the past

To walk to the end and then come back?"
