I traveled back to '92
To let you know you made it through
Little ghost boy
Little ghost boy
I found you underneath the slide
Crying through your cut out eyes
In a white sheet
And purple tights
I know it's been a while
Since I met you with a smile
Never meant to leave you behind
I know it's been a while
Since I held you in my arms
Never meant to treat you unkind
Little ghost boy
Tears won't stop
The cruelest ones
But keep the tears falling
Until they're done
Baby that's alright
Little ghost boy
The names get worse
As you grow up
Sorry young king
But that's just what dumb people say
It's gonna be ok ok ok
Ok ok ok
Be ok ok ok
Ok ok ok
Be ok ok ok
Let's take trip to '99
Good Riddance to junior high
Little ghost boy
Little ghost boy
Heaven knows your high school days
Are hell on earth but you escape
In that white car
Your mom just bought
I know it's been a while
Since I met you with a smile
Never meant to leave you behind
I know it's been a while
Since I held you in my arms
Never meant to treat you unkind
Little ghost boy
Miles won't mend
Your deepest scars
But keep on
Keep driving until your heart
Can beat again
Little ghost boy
At 22 you'll hit New Heights
Then spiral on down till 29
You're gonna stand back up
It's gonna be ok ok ok
Ok ok ok
Be ok ok ok
Ok ok ok
Be ok ok ok
I woke up at 31
Small town Trump's America
In a motel room
Little ghost boy
Took a long look in the mirror
Staring back oh there you were
In a white shirt
Little ghost boy
The night before
They said I do
The bride she wore white
Friends of the groom
Didn't like you none
Little ghost boy
They circled 'round you
Screamed and shouted
God don't like fags
So get the fuck out of our hometown
Little ghost boy
Your momma yelled
Your sister cried
And you, you just traveled back in time
To '92
That's why I'm here with you
