  • She said
    This is not about a poltergeist
    Not about a phantom that glows at night
    But there are things we don't know and I
    Don't have another choice but an open mind, oh
    And I know what they'll say
    I'm trying to make sense of what no one can explain
    But I've been having dreams that after I'm awake
    Play out in reality the very next day

    So I play along
    I nod my head when they say I'm wrong
    But each night falls and away I run
    On the other side till the daylight comes
    So I play along
    I nod my head when they say I'm wrong
    But each night falls and away I run
    On the other side till the daylight comes

    And when the lights go down
    I see things I can't explain
    Calling out my name
    The lights go down
    Holding every memory close
    Tonight is for our ghosts
    Ghosts
    Ghosts
    Tonight is for our ghosts

    This is not about you and me
    I can't bring back how it used to be
    And I know what I do believe
    But I've already seen what I couldn't see, oh

    So I play along
    I nod my head when they say I'm wrong
    But each night falls and away I run
    On the other side till the daylight comes

    And when the lights go down
    I see things I can't explain
    Calling out my name
    The lights go down
    Holding every memory close
    Tonight is for our ghosts

    And when the lights go down
    Is there something in the air
    There but never there
    The lights go down
    Holding every memory close
    Tonight is for our ghosts
    Ghosts
    Ghosts
    Tonight is for our ghosts
    Ghosts
    Ghosts
    Tonight is for our ghosts Writer/s: Mike Shinoda
