Thewz - Phantom [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

We used to be those kids on the swingset
Tryna put words to a feeling that didn’t sting yet
I would pick you flowers from the garden
While you dipped your hands in wet cement just to watch it harden
In class, I’d never have to ask if you were there
‘cause I could always feel your feet kicking the back of my chair
In 6th grade, I carved our names into that oak tree
And vowed, no matter what, I would always hold you closely
Now we’re 19, married, community college graduated
I wake up to you every morning, no longer infatuated
I always had dreams of being self made
But had to let them go, ‘cause I knocked you up in 12th grade
And because of your religion I feel I got robbed
Now all you do is pop pills while I work dead end jobs
So I look you in the eyes and ask if this is what you want
All we are is ghosts with no place to haunt
And it kills me
All we are is ghosts with no place to haunt
And it kills me
All we are is ghosts with no place to haunt

Sometimes it seems like it’s always been this way
Like I have only dreamed of a smile on our faces
We’ve got nothing but each other in this world
So baby here’s your anthem
We’re just two nameless phantoms

I remember how we laughed on our first date
Your dad got mad ‘cause I brought you back home late
We were two teens, in love with the world
It was simple, I was your boy and you were my girl
When you’re kids, love is exactly like the movies are
But we’re all fated to grow and endure a couple scars
We were all of those cliches and more
Without a damn clue of what the future held in store
And now it’s fucked up, I’m aggravated before you even speak
We used to talk about forever, I don’t know if we’ll last the week
It’s pitiful, when I think of all the shit I did for you
Don’t know any other girls, I’ve been in love with you since middle school
So leaving’s not an option, and there’s nobody watchin’
We’ve only had each other, yeah we’re practically forgotten
So I look you in the eyes and ask if this is what you want
All we are is ghosts with no place to haunt
And it kills me
All we are is ghosts with no place to haunt
And it kills me
All we are is ghosts with no place to haunt
