we used to wish upon the city lights

angels of the avenue

now I just sleep alone on such starless nights

there's wreckage where your roses grew

and I don't want to be here without you

 

in this ghost town

all the sunsets start to rust

and the days just drift like dust

in this ghost town

my heart turned to clay

when you went away

 

there used to be a boulevard right here

lit up like a love parade

the DJ on the radio disappeared

there's static where your music played

now all our favorite songs echo and fade

 

in this ghost town

all the sunsets start to rust

and the days just drift like dust

in this ghost town

my heart turned to clay

when you went away 

 

no one's keeping time

the man in the clock tower shut it down

I hold on to your valentine

until you come back around

 

we flickered on the silver screen

the greatest love affair they'd ever seen

 

in this ghost town

all the sunsets start to rust

and the days just drift like dust

in this ghost town

my heart turned to clay

when you went away

 

it's nothing but a ghost town now
