[Intro]
Don't blame the victim
The victim (x2)
You won't outrun them
Outrun them (x2)
Up towards the rafters
The ghosts are following every move you make
They're after all your secrets and all your skeletons
[Verse 1]
You were taken far too soon
And there's nothing that I will be able to do
Celebrate the mark you left on all of us
On all of us (x2)
Who could have done this to you?
Your lips were so cold and blue
You can't be gone
I need you here
My only one (x3)
[Pre-Chorus]
So now we're here (now we're here)
Gathered 'round (gathered 'round)
Sharing stories (stories) of this old town
[Chorus]
Don't blame the victim
What will become?
What will become of you?
You won't outrun them
Once you are gone there's nothing that I can do
Up towards the rafters
The ghosts are following every move you make
They're after all your secrets and all your skeletons
[Verse 2]
We had plans to move away
To some place better that looked the same
The tires screeched
I heard your screams for so long
'Till they pierced your lungs
Pierced your lungs
The oxygen left in me should have been yours;
I don't need to breathe
I miss our secret pacts to conquer Oregon
It was ours (x2)
[Pre-Chorus]
So now we're here (now we're here)
Gathered 'round (gathered 'round)
Sharing stories (stories) of this old town
[Chorus]
Don't blame the victim
What will become?
What will become of you?
You won't outrun them
Once you are gone there's nothing that I can do
Up towards the rafters
The ghosts are following every move you make
They're after all your secrets and all your skeletons
[Instrumental]
[Pre-Chorus]
So now we're here (now we're here)
Gathered 'round (gathered 'round)
Sharing stories (stories) of this old town
[Chorus]
Don't blame the victim
What will become?
What will become of you?
You won't outrun them
Once you are gone there's nothing that I can do
Up towards the rafters
The ghosts are following every move you make
They're after all your secrets and all your skeletons
