Taking Back Sunday - Ghost Man On Third Lyrics






Jynx me something crazy
Thinking if it's three
then I'm as smooth as the skin
rolls across the small of your back
It's too bad it's not my style
If you need me
I'm out and on the parkway,
patient and waiting for headlights,
dressed in a fashion that's fitting to the
inconsistencies of my moods

It's times like these, where silence means everything
And no one is to know about this
It's times like these, where silence means everything
And no one is to know about this

It's a campaign of distraction
and revisionist history, oh

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)
It's a shame I doubt they even care
(it's a shame I doubt they even care)
No one is to know about this

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)
It's a shame I doubt they even care
(it's a shame I doubt they even care)
Don't let me down

But whatever I have gettin' myself into
maybe has been slicing inches from my waist
It's my fist vs. the bottle
(and thank god you weren't there...)
And that's how bad could this hurt
or against I won't feel a thing
(and thank god you weren't there...)
I tell you all about it
It's just not working out
(...to watch me hit bottom)
not working out

It's a campaign of distraction
and revisionist history, oh

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)
It's a shame I doubt they even care
(it's a shame I doubt they even care)
No one is to know about this

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)
It's a shame I doubt they even care
(it's a shame I doubt they even care)
No one has to know about this
Don't let me down

This is why we were taught so much better than this
This is why we were taught so much better than this

This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does

Taking Back Sunday Ghost Man On Third Comments
  1. I.... C....

    Having a ghost man on third is terrible baseball. The ball would go right through him.

  2. D.... G....

    High school summed up in 3 minutes 59 seconds.

  3. E.... :....

    depression in a nutshell :3

  4. P.... T....

    Happy New Year 2020! And this song is still as smooth as the skin
    rolls across the small of your back.....

  5. R.... M....

    12/21/19

  6. C.... R....

    Adams vocals makes this song what it is

  7. A.... A....

    Can still sing it by heart. It's no secret or campaign of distraction nor a revisionist history.

  8. e.... ....

    this song hits me SO VERY HARD -i remember, being young, trying to get over the hardest relationship in my life, a few years after it had ended, this song unlocked all the pain.... I would even drive home from my friends house screaming the lyrics out loud. Powerful feelings captured in this one. So relatable to so many. i am now in my 30s, but this song is still just as powerful....

  9. [.... m....

    I don't know, this would probably have to be my favorite song by them, both this and the acoustic version.

  10. S.... H....

    2:56 eargasm

  11. K.... K....

    Best song they ever made

  12. n.... _....

    15 years later, taking back sunday is forever

  13. G.... ....

    So many great drunk nights with close friends singing the songs together and are still great

  14. C.... ....

    Still love this song!!!! 2019

  15. F.... F....

    Its really great to be white

  16. M.... P....

    02:56 ❤️❤️❤️

  17. N.... D....

    15 years later, 27 years old and still gives me goosebumps.

    N.... D....

    im 27 and i relate 100 percent

    N.... D....

    That's the high pitch buzzing at 10 seconds that does that

    N.... D....

    I have them all over.

    N.... D....

    I’m 31

    N.... D....

    fck yes.

  18. u.... ....

    My favorite song from this entire album, this song means everything to me, heart broken time and time again and TBS got me through so much pain...

  19. B.... T....

    Miss u James. <3

  20. E.... G....

    I like to think the song title is an homage to Jonny Craig's old band "Ghost Runner on Third" any confirmation on that?

  21. A.... ....

    TBS captures an essence that no other band can

    A.... ....

    agreed my friend...so much raw emotion into their tracks.

  22. D.... ....

    This song will always hurt.

    D.... ....

    Always.
    Fucking always.

  23. I.... J....

    It’s times like these where silence everything

  24. J.... P....

    I think it's funny how people think this song is about Jesse lacey, he helped write this song I mean there's a video of him playing the song with tbs. That's why there's so many lyrics of brand new in there. He even wanted to call this 70 x 7

  25. G.... N....

    It's times like these where silence means EEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHH VREEEEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEE THAAAAAAAAAAAAN-YOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol, absolutely face -melting vocals. Dude I'm so glad I grew up with this. I imagine people who hear this now don't feel it the way I feel it, but this song hits me like missile to the chest.

    G.... N....

    I'm 15 and I feel it dude, my dad played with these guys in edinboro, he still has adams shirt, they used to trade shirts when they played with bands like Thursday, From autumn to ashes, etc

    G.... N....

    @Lennon Hunt that's awesome! 😊
    You are *very* lucky .

  26. �.... ....

    damn!! I'm 25 years bumpkin that have just came to know this song , fuck that

  27. T.... ....

    I miss this music. I miss being a reckless, adventurous teenager. That vulnerable state we later learn to fear and loath as we approach adulthood. THIS IS WHAT LIVING LIKE THIS DOES!

  28. F.... T....

    I love TBS. Gets how I feel.

  29. O.... M....

    I love the little incoherent noises he always throws in.

  30. C.... J....

    Why am I crying?

    C.... J....

    Chase Jones cuz you're Gay

  31. o.... o....

    why people dont like this anymore wtf happens to this shit

  32. L.... D....

    Commie peice of shit.

  34. J.... R....

    umm this was supposed to be coheed and cambria

  35. N.... M....

    am I the only one that thinks the intro sounds like Degausser by Brand New???

    N.... M....

    Nicolette M. Yea, they do kinda sound similar huh.

    N.... M....

    A lot of their songs sound similar to me

  36. D.... F....

    At some point I always come back to this song. And every time I put it on repeat forever. One of the only songs that after years and years I have never gotten sick of. This song just has so much emotion. It has got to be my favorite song ever.

    It's my face vs the bottle. love that line so much.

  69. f.... ....

    Fall out boy does suck ballsack though

  70. x.... ....

    lol "symptoms" nuff said....

  71. T.... ....

    xD People try to sound "So smart" on the internet. I'm not arguing whether there symptoms or not, I was calling you that. Holy

  72. x.... ....

    lol "Kid"
    I find this "insult" hilarious. Whatever would you do without your vaunted false sense of superiority you render from assuming you're arguing with a child?

  73. x.... ....

    Stupid, ignorant... these are synonyms. If you didn't want to argue, you wouldn't have replied....

  74. x.... ....

    1. If you really didn't care, you wouldn't have responded in the first place
    2. Assuming what I think is further evidence of your ignorance
    3. Resorting to petty insults when you've run out of credible arguments does little to support your stance. AND
    4. Read back a little and you'll see you started this little flame war with "you have bad taste (paraphrasing)," so don't even try to take the "you're throwing around insults too" stance because mine were justified in retaliatory defense.

  75. T.... ....

    Doesn't make any sense that I have bad taste, when you're arguing with two different people about fob. And when did I call you stupid, It's not that I didn't understand that, I clearly wasn't talking about myself and don't wanna argue with some sarcastic, ignorant, random person on the internet.

  76. x.... ....

    If you couldn't make sense of that simple little post, you have little place calling anyone else stupid.

  77. T.... ....

    ...What? Your, not even making sense now. It's a shame, I doubt you even care.

  78. x.... ....

    As previously stated, writing off a comment as ignorant doesn't make it so. In doing so, you've exemplified your own stupidity and bad taste.

  79. x.... ....

    xD "Same genre"

    Doesn't = same league.

    "Dumb people" lol
    It's not healthy to talk about yourself like that.

  80. x.... ....

    xD The ignorant one here is you. Read up, me harty yo ho: Fall Out Boy outsources their lyrics.
    Add FOB to that 100% suck list, and it would be 100% correct.

  81. T.... ....

    So that's your opinion, which you just clearly stated. And thinking FOB doesn't write their own songs IS being ignorant, when they do. Fall Out Boy are so inspirational, and defiantly deserve to be in the same "league" as Taking Back Sunday. There, MY opinion was said -_-. And yes I'm aloud to say you're ignorant for saying they 100% suck because thats not true at all. Lady gaga, Nikki Manaj, fucking Marron 5. That is what 100% suck is.... not Fall Out Boy.

  82. x.... ....

    Unfortunately for you, writing my opinion off as ignorant doesn't change its validity, nor does it change the fact that they don't write their own music (with a few exceptions I'm sure). FOB suck ass and are unworthy of being referred to being in the same league as Taking Back Sunday.

  83. T.... ....

    I don't know where you heard that, but that's a big lump of bullshit. What, does Panic! At The Disco not write their own stuff either? -_- You don't like fall Out Boy, and I understand that, but too say they "100% suck" is seriously just complete and total ignorance.

  84. x.... ....

    Pete doesn't write a lot of their songs. They're more often than not outsourced or written by their producers.

  85. T.... ....

    Don't Fight with him because he's an idoit. He doesn't understand that Fall Out Boy and TBS are basicly the same exact genre. Dumb people on the Internet I swear.

  86. T.... ....

    They don't write their own songs? Really, they do for the record, the bassist usually writes them all. And you must of never listened to Take This To Your Grave, Evening Out With Your Girlfriend, or From Under The Cork Tree. They were great, and it's hard to hate songs on those albums. Your probably just getting confused with the New (Gayer) Fall Out Boy. Listen too Calm Before The Storm (new and old), Nobody put's baby in the corner, Of all the jin joints, and Moving Pictures. They dont suck-_-

  87. M.... ....

    You're ignorance and stupidity validates your bad taste. I bet you also have a love for metallica and avenged sevenfold too

  88. x.... ....

    Haha. I'm sure a vast majority would agree with my taste. Your diehard fanboy/girlism is more evidence of your own bad taste, and less of mine.

  89. M.... ....

    I know what you've listened to because you described all their newer albums. The only thing that sucks is your taste in music.

  90. x.... ....

    How about you stop assuming to know what I have and haven't listened to. I don't care if you like them or not, but they 100% suck.

  91. M.... ....

    How about you stop listening to their last two albums and actually go back to their older stuff. I honestly don't care if you like them or not, but they 100% don't suck.

  92. x.... ....

    Fall out boy is horrible. I've sampled a good portion of their music and have yet to find a single song that I liked. Their tendency to lean towards their poppy roots as opposed to their rock ones makes them rather unappealing to me. Their live performances leave much to be desired in terms of technical skill, and they hire songwriters for their music. Often times the message of the song is conflicted with the melody.

  93. M.... ....

    Fall out boy doesn't suck. Take this to your grave is one of the greatest albums ever. From under the cork tree was amazing as well. Plus they had tons of earlier ep's that were great.

  94. x.... ....

    Really? Fall out boy sucks tho. I hate all their songs. This band shouldn't even be lumped into the same category as them. FOB doesn't even write their own lyrics.

  95. T.... ....

    It's bands like Taking Back Sunday and Fall Out Boy, that just blow my mind. It's like there is not one song you can hate from them. Well at least on their first 4 albums haha.

  96. B.... S....

    One does not simply LIKE taking back sunday...

    B.... S....

    No, we fucking love them forever!!!

  97. P.... T....

    The outro...
