Wish you had called the cops
When you got home
Wish you had called your Mom
I wanted her crying on the phone
Wish you had wondered if I made it out alive
But you left me bone-dry

Wish you had made the plans
At least one time
Come on keep me guessing
Your favorite crime
I hope that with time you come to realize
You left me bone-dry

Supermarket stares and judgeful conversations
I said I needed space, finally got some attention
The one that got away, their favorite attraction
They chewed me up then spit me out

I shut everybody out at the risk of going mental
Words of unreason turned to wasted potential
I told myself, "don't let yourself be sentimental"
'Cause you chewed me up then spit me out

Too many sips of my Daddy's whiskey
Too many medicine bottles empty
I choked on the sun as my heart bled dry
And you saw right through my tear-less eyes

But the rain came down
And washed you out
So long drought
Goodbye ghost town

Wish you had cared enough to understand
I don't make faces like that unless I hate what you said
You're on your own planet, how's the weather up there?
Wait, I don't care

Where did you get the nerve to talk like that?
No fucking manners, just like your goddamn Dad
I saw your therapist last week, she broke the rules and told me everything
That you're not changing

Supermarket glares and tasteless interventions
People ask me how I've been as I'm lacking all my senses
I feel it, it's coming, an explosion of emotions
'Cause you chewed me up then spit me out

Too many car rides through the city
Too many midnights feeling empty
I choked on the heat as it burned me, baby
And you saw right through

But the rain came down
And washed you out
So long drought
Goodbye ghost town

Goodbye ghost town

Goodbye ghost town

Wish you had grown up six months ago
The only parts of you that changed are the colors on your walls
The pictures I took, the lyrics in your book
That I'm not listening to

'Cause I know better
Than to read your letter
F*ck your closure
Get over it

Supermarket run-ins, thought I moved on enough to handle them
I've worked too hard for too long for you to come crawling into my mind again
The one that got away, my fatal distraction
It chews me up then spits me out

I hope you wake up with a voice in your head
Screaming, "make your own bed and lie in it, lie in it"
I can't be your saving grace anymore
No more

Too many goddamn Bloody Mary's
Too many novelties broken and buried
I let myself choke, I was too young to know
You're just a ghost

But the rain came down
(It came down, it came down)
And washed you out
(Washed you out)
So long drought
Goodbye ghost town

Do you feel nothing but shame when you hear my name?
Do you see my face in the pouring rain?
Does it haunt you in the middle of the night
When you are wishing you could me one more time?

Lightning strikes, you're out of my mind
Go waste someone else's time
I don't wanna see your ugly cry

But the rain came down
(It came down, it came down)
And washed you out
(Washed you out)
So long drought
Goodbye ghost town
