Chris Cornell Ghosts lyrics

I know what you're looking for
You've looked in these eyes before
And all you saw was blue-green water

Searching for a mirror
That would show the world not who you are
But who you wanna be

And you thought you'd find that one in me
Well, it's been a long time since I heard that name

He doesn't live here anymore
Don't know where he's residing
You can wait here if you want
But I don't think he's coming back
He doesn't live here anymore

Should you find the right place
Same old place you knew before
But that won't change what hides behind the door

And what lies underneath
And the change from the inside out


He doesn't live here anymore
Don't know where he's residing
I think it's better if you go
'Cause I don't want him coming back

Yes, I know the name sounds a little bit familiar
Like a melody to a dream
Yes, I know he wore the same face, the same clothes
But that was so long ago

I know who you wanna find
Somewhere is the memory
Of somebody I left behind, yeah

Well, let's take it all in stride
It's that time to say goodbye

He doesn't live here anymore, yeah
