Ghost Town Lyrics

Well the streets are all crowded
Lots of people around
And there's music playing
But I can't hear a sound

Just the sound of the rain
Falling silently down
Livin' ain't been livin'
Since you put me down

Yeah, life goes on around me every day
But it might as well be half a million miles away
It's like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town without your love

Like a ghost town, baby, can't you see?
It's a ghost town until you come back to me
Oh, oh, till you come back to me

Well I wish I still had you
Had you here next to me
Baby, where did you go?
Baby, why did you leave?

All the world, it keeps turnin'
But it don't turn for me
Without you in my life
My life ain't no place to be

There's only lonely days and empty nights
Ain't the same without you, baby, nothin' feelin' right
Nothin's feelin' right

It's like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town, baby, can't you see?
It's a ghost town, until you come back to me
Oh oh, till you come back to me

Darlin', I wanna leave this town
Don't wanna be around
I'm gonna leave this town
It's like a ghost town

It's like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town, baby, can't you see?
A ghost town, until you come back to me
Oh oh till you come back to me
It's like a ghost town
It's a ghost town
Hey hey, it's like a ghost town, can't you see
It's like like a ghost town
Til you come, till you come back to me
Oh oh ooh
Til you come, till you come back to me

What is the Meaning of Ghost Town?

When love fades away, even the busiest city can feel like an abandoned wasteland. This poignant track explores the emotional desolation of losing someone special, where despite being surrounded by crowds and music, the protagonist feels completely isolated. The world continues spinning, but for them, time stands still in their personal vacuum of loss. The metaphor of a "ghost town" brilliantly captures how a vibrant place becomes hollow and meaningless without that special person's presence. Even though life buzzes all around, the speaker experiences a profound disconnection from reality, highlighting how heartbreak can transform our perception of the world. The recurring theme of waiting for their love's return emphasizes both hope and despair - the two emotions that often dance together in the aftermath of a broken relationship.
