Lyrics

I’m being good, maybe better than I should.
Just in case you see me, just in case you see me.
I’m keeping strong, and I say that we’ll get along,
And I sure hope that you believe me. I hope you believe me.

I’m making noise, and I’m steadying my voice.
When the rooms start feeling haunted. The rooms are feeling haunted.
I smile this way to pretend that we’re ok ‘cause I know
That’s the way that you’d want it. That’s the way that you’d want it.

When it went down, all the people came around and said
“Do you believe in Jesus? Do you believe in Jesus?”
I said “I think I would believe in anything if it would
Promise not to leave us. Promise not to leave us.”

I figured out how to run this empty house.
It helps to keep a light on. It helps to keep a light on.
You were the king of so many little things.
There was a lot to keep your eye on, a lot to keep your eye on.

When it went down, all the people came around and said
“Do you believe in Jesus? Do you believe in Jesus?”
I said “I think I would believe in anything if it would
Promise not to leave us. Promise not to leave us.”

Only a fool thinks she knows who makes the rules,
And still I try to do it. Still I try to do it.
You sprung the trap we all got placed upon our path,
And it looks like you beat me to it. Looks like you beat me to it.

Now I know why some folks believe in ghosts:
It keeps the dead from dying, keeps the dead from dying.
And I don’t mind who we try to keep alive.
Whatever keeps us trying, whatever keeps us trying.

When it went down, all the people came around and said
“Do you believe in Jesus? Do you believe in Jesus?”
I said “I think I would believe in anything if it would
Promise not to leave us. Promise not to leave us.”
I would believe in souls. I would believe in saints.
I would believe in angels. I’d believe in ghosts.
I would believe in God. I would believe in love.
I would believe you hear me. I’d believe that most.
