Of Mice & Men - If We Were Ghosts Lyrics






If we were ghosts
You could see inside of me, right into my soul
To see what makes me up or focus on the holes
I'd be the world around the sun
Hopelessly spinning 'round you, yeah
Turning every leaf and stone
But that's not the way it goes

I have to wait till I get to the other side
Just to see you, just to see you
I have to wait till I get to the other side
Cause I never, never got to say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

If we were ghosts
Floating high above the world
Little would they know
That to end is to begin
At least that's what I hope
And for a moment I could be
Something a bit more complete, yeah
But we never keep what makes us whole
And that's just the way it goes

I have to wait till I get to the other side
Just to see you, just to see you
I have to wait till I get to the other side
Cause I never, never got to say goodbye

I lament with every breath I take
The gentle sadness flows through everything
The gentle sadness flows through everything

I have to wait till I get to the other side
Just to see you, just to see you
I have to wait till I get to the other side
Cause I never, never got to say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

    [Verse 1]
    If we were ghosts
    You could see inside of me, right into my soul
    To see what makes me up or focus on the holes
    I'd be the world around the sun
    Hopelessly spinning 'round you, yeah
    Turning every leaf and stone
    But that's not the way it goes

    [Chorus]
    I have to wait till I get to the other side
    Just to see you, just to see you
    I have to wait till I get to the other side
    'Cause I never, never got to say goodbye
    Goodbye, goodbye

    [Verse 2]
    If we were ghosts
    Floating high above the world, little would they know
    That to end is to begin least that's what I hope
    That for a moment I could be
    Something a bit more complete, yeah
    But we never keep what makes us whole
    And that's just the way it goes

    [Chorus]
    I have to wait till I get to the other side
    Just to see you, just to see you
    I have to wait till I get to the other side
    'Cause I never, never got to say goodbye


    [Bridge]
    And I lament with every breath I take
    The gentle sadness flows through everything
    The gentle sadness flows through everything

    [Chorus]
    I have to wait till I get to the other side
    Just to see you, just to see you
    I have to wait till I get to the other side
    'Cause I never, never got to say goodbye

    [Outro]
    Got to say goodbye
    Got to say goodbye
    Got to say goodbye
    Got to say goodbye

    This song gets me hard. I relate to it because of my dead best friend. Thanks for this amazing, song, OM&M! Also, RIP Chester <3

  6. d.... e....

    Just lost my best friend to a hit and run a week ago, a careless woman drove through the cross walk and hit him and kept driving instead of stopping to try and help him, to possibly save his life... I lost my other best friend I grew up with to a drunk driver a few years back. The anguish I've been feeling right now is so much to bear, but this song (as sad as it makes me) really really helps me cope. Thank you so much for this OM&M and Rise Records, been following the label and band for years now and you guys never fail to impress and offer music that makes me feel alive, that helps me get through the day. Sincerely, thank you...

  7. U.... W....

    Imagine Austin sing this too...

  8. H.... F....

    It's about time they release an actual fucking album since Austin.

  9. J.... W....

    I'll admit, I cried when I heard this the first time because of how much I missed Chester Bennington. Still one of the greatest vocalists I ever heard while growing up.

  10. N.... F....

    What a fantastic tribute to Chester Bennington!! Of Mice & Men are a great band 👌🏼

  11. K.... H....

    This song gives me chills. Love this fucking band

  12. A.... M....

    The best bands 🎸🎶🎵

  13. H.... O....

  14. G.... ....

    My dudes, this album has some of the best overall composed lyrics in a while. Especially Instincts and Warzone, small sections but puts you in dire perspective. Kinda gives you a run for your life as the song goes on, so fucking sick!

  15. v.... ....

    This song is absolutely brilliant, goosebumps everywhere

  16. I.... J....

    Getting FLAW vibes from this tbh

  17. G.... B....

    did you know aaron is chester benningtons nethew dumbies

  18. T.... A....

    Kill me x

  19. A.... ....

    best song on the album

  20. D.... C....

    44 Justin bieber's fans dislike this video

  21. L.... ....

    Such a good song!

  22. C.... V....

    Although this is dedicated to Chester, it breaks my heart because it makes me think of my mother who I lost 8 years ago (in June). I never got to say goodbye and this song seems to dredge up all those feels.

    C.... V....

    Please, stay strong 🙏🏼

  23. P.... G....

    RIP Chester... This song is so awesome

  24. H.... ....

    This is my favorite song from the album and when I read that this song was inspired by Chester, I cried. I made a video of this song (click if you want to watch). R.I.P Chester.

  25. L.... D....

    really beautiful

  26. a.... s....

    such a beautiful song. I listen to it over and over again.

  27. J.... E....

    is it just Pauley on Vocals now ... i haven't really paid attention to them w/o Carllile

    J.... E....

    Jacob_S6RC EM0AL1TY it’s been Aaron singing, screaming and playing bass since 2016

  28. S.... W....

    La mejor cancion del album¡¡¡.

  29. D.... C....

    I really like this song. Its got an APC feel to it

  30. w.... ....

    I get the feeling this would be bone chillingly good in acoustic form.

  31. k.... i....

    Aaron's voice speaks to my soul

  32. E.... ....

    I wish more of their music was softer like this.

    E.... ....

    I hope so

  33. t.... ....

    I sadly just said goodbye to a friend who unexpectedly passed away a week ago. Right after the funeral this song came on my shuffle and it broke me down. Cherish everybody around you all the time because you never know when their time or your will be over one day.

  34. R.... N....

    ¿Por qué hay dislikes? Si esto es hermoso.

  35. P.... 1....

    RIP Chester, we miss you

  36. N.... M....

  39. I.... K....

    I literally wanna cry

  40. T.... L....

    This Song is Epic ☺

  41. A.... R....

    Amazing song, it made me cry. beautiful yet sad at same time

  42. W.... ....

  43. R.... K....

    Hard rock

  44. M.... J....

    One of my favorite song. I love u,guys. So emotional song

  49. P.... ....

    This is remiding me so much of Three Days Grace with Adam [ im sad now :( ]

    P.... ....

    Presata I said the same exact thing.

    P.... ....

    Tyler Albertson, their new song is good but doesnt feel like TDG anymore

    P.... ....

    Presata just sounds like My Darkest Days now

  50. A.... A....

    best song off album

  51. K.... ....

    Chester 💔

  52. V.... S....

    I've had this song on repeat. It's such a sad soothing track full of emotions! I even thought, damn, this song reminds me of Chester. Well, from what I read it is about Chester. I'm going to miss Austin and Chester in this music community so much. I've modeled my singing and screaming voice after those guys... with that said, I LOVE Aaron in this band, the new album has been on repeat all week! This bands future is sooo bright! :)

  53. U.... W....

    It's not too late, it's never too late...



    Oh, wrong song, oops

  54. C.... ....

    One of the best tributes to Chester imo, great 😭😭😭

    C.... ....

    MagzLP00 im confused how is this a tribute song to Chester?

    C.... ....

    Nazo 103 Yup, it was made to honor Chester, there are some articles about that in internet. Of Mice & Men is a friend of Linkin Park, so Chester also.

  55. �.... �....

    Rip Chester (((((((

  56. M.... M....

    If we were ghosts!

  57. S.... W....

    i seriously don't know what to think of this album. on one aspect i like that it is a different tone, but at another it is quite a change from the original sound that i love. i guess that i'll be stepping out of the comfort zone.

  58. i.... q....

    Reminds me of Halo Legends "the prototype"

  59. R.... M....

    Can someone make a 10-hour version of this so I can stop raping the replay button?

  60. J.... B....

    Si fuéramos fantasmas
    Entenderías en lo más profundo de mi alma...
    ;-; aún la extraño

  61. w.... ....

    beautiful song!

  62. T.... K....

    RIP Chester

  63. A.... 1....

    Literally every song they make is flawless ❤️❤️❤️❤️👌🏾

  64. P.... ....

    Listening to this made me think of a friend of mine I lost several years ago from suicide. At least he's not in pain anymore. Miss you brother, this year would've been our 10th year of friendship.

    P.... ....

    PoetryEmotion94 i feel this.. I lost my gf a year ago and damb i miss those five years we had with eachother.

  65. a.... s....

    One of the favourite songs of 2018. So beautiful & full of emotions ...just amazing😍

  66. M.... V....

    If the lyrics on every song weren't generic trash, this could be a p good album. Unfortunately, OM&M settling for the average common denominator nowadays

  67. C.... :....

    Two months ago i thought that this album will be a shit, but all this time i was wrong, this album is good, not a 9 but a 8 or 8.5

  68. T.... A....

    The only song I was excited for

  69. J.... W....

    Easily my favorite off the record.

  70. �.... ....

    RIP Chester

  71. M.... P....

    Sounds like a perfect circle kind of but this is my fav song off this album

  72. E.... t....

    Best album of the last 12 months on par with memento mori by gemini syndrome loved it from start 2 finish sooooo glad the screaming has been toned down now i can enjoy this band properly

  73. R.... F....

    One of my 2 most favorite songs in the album next to how will you live 😀

  74. D.... F....

    Definitely not the same miss the original og

  75. K.... P....

    Softest song on the album but my personal favorite

  76. T.... A....

    Gives me a 3 Days Grace vibe.

    T.... A....

    Tyler Albertson lol

    T.... A....

    It does tbh

    T.... A....

    Tyler Albertson “I hate everything about you” drum beat

    T.... A....

    I got toolvibes

    T.... A....

    so true man. its cool you thought of that

  77. j.... ....

    It's not that I don't like the new music, it just sounds nothing like their old style. And there's nothing wrong with change, but their old style is what made them....them. They sound like a completely different band now. Idk man.

    j.... ....

    I miss the old sound as well, but the change is good. The band would become boring if it always sounds the same, don't you think that? 🤔

    j.... ....

    jck1794 they sound better now the screaming has been toned down just an opinion but austin leaving was a step in the right direction for om&m

    j.... ....

    Yeah I don't come to the comments to hate on Of Mice & Men, but damn it really is not even remotely the same band. I'm not really into this style of music, or the new sound they have. I try, every time they release new music, to listen to it and enjoy. It's just not for me. I'm glad so many people can get into it though.

    It's totally fine for bands to experiment with new sounds, change their sound over time, replace members of the band, etc, but this is a complete 180. It's a total change from what it used to be.

  78. D.... D....

    еееее бой

  79. R.... K....

    Those feels.

  80. A.... C....

    fuck. i got an email about this so now i'm here and i feel scene again 😭 it's so beautiful aaaa

  81. �.... �....

    My favorite song on the album

  82. I.... A....

    The fact that this song was written about Chester makes it more tear jerking


    RIP Chester

  83. F.... S....

    Chester 😭

  84. S.... K....

    Really loving the new stuff. I might miss Austin but still they don't disappoint.

  85. C.... A....

    I like this. Very different from the rest of the album, where every song sounds the same.

  86. M.... _....

    long awaited album im 2 songs in and it is SOLID

  87. D.... ....

    Fucking amazing album Of Mice & Men love you guys, you guys are my inspiration

  88. M.... H....

    best song lyrically so far

  89. c.... ....

    I actually really dig this track. Super emotional. Yeh. Check out my review of the full album here: https://youtu.be/F1FsuKkQ9uE

  90. n.... ....

    Literally goosebumps all the way through! Kinda freaking me out.

  91. E.... ....

    Favorite song on the album so far. Can't wait to see them at the Stone Pony next month!

  92. k.... ....

    Chester would be proud.

    k.... ....

    I I miss Ches a lot 💔
    It's a beautiful song

    k.... ....

    Yes he would be 😞💗 still can't believe he's gone

    k.... ....

    Well, not to sound morbid but if he was still alive, this song would most likely not exist...meaning he wouldn't be "proud" in the first place. But I get what you're saying.

    k.... ....

    That's just something that doesn't need to be pointed out Caleb, man. Beautiful song.

    k.... ....

    Im sure Hes up in heaven Smiling down on everyone who has paid tribute to his beautiful life

  93. M.... G....

    Fav song, this is so amazing...
