There's nothing quite like the people left walking 'round ghost towns
The rings 'round their eyes and the way that they drift from the wind
They're still following echoes from past lives they'velived
They remind me of stories heard as a kid

So how do I set you free
When the lost don't wanna be found
And how do I get you to see
That there's nothing left here for you now
That there's nothing left here for you now

Stretching on tiptoes to reach for a reason to hold on
But I'm falling forward, they're falling back into themselves
Yeah, they're walking their circles of personal hell
And they sigh like sound of the night in the elms

So how do I set you free
When the lost don't wanna be found
And how do I get you to see
That there's nothing left here for you now
That there's nothing left here for you now

Are you scared of dyin', are you fighting to stay awake
You know it's not your job, dear
To mourn the mistakes that you make
I just pray the Lord your soul to take

So how do I set you free
When the lost don't wanna be found
And how do I get you to see
That there's nothing left here for you now
That there's nothing left here for you now
That there's nothing left here for you now
