I keep going to the river to pray
00:17
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
00:21
And at most
00:25
I'm sleeping all these demons away
00:27
But your ghost, the ghost of you
00:30
It keeps me awake
00:33
My friends had you figured out
00:36
Yeah, they saw what's inside of you
00:38
You tried hiding another you
00:40
But your evil was coming through
00:42
These eyes sitting on the wall
00:45
They watch every move I make
00:47
Bright light living in the shade
00:49
Your cold heart makes my spirit shake
00:52
I had to go through hell to prove I'm not insane
00:54
Had to meet the devil just to know his name
01:01
And that's when my love was burning
01:05
Yeah, it's still burning
01:08
I keep going to the river to pray
01:11
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
01:16
And at most
01:20
I'm sleeping all these demons away
01:22
But your ghost, the ghost of you
01:25
It keeps me awake
01:28
I keep going to the river to pray
01:30
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
01:34
And at most
01:38
I'm sleeping all these demons away
01:40
But your ghost, the ghost of you
01:43
It keeps me awake
01:46
Each time that I think you go
01:49
I turn around and you're creeping in
01:51
And I let you under my skin
01:53
Guess I love living in the sin
01:55
Oh, you never told me
01:58
True love was gonna hurt
02:00
True pain I don't deserve
02:02
Truth is that I never learn
02:05
I keep going to the river to pray
02:08
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
02:13
And at most
02:17
I'm sleeping all these demons away
02:19
But your ghost, the ghost of you
02:22
It keeps me awake
02:24
I keep going to the river to pray
02:27
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
02:31
And at most
02:35
I'm sleeping all these demons away
02:37
But your ghost, the ghost of you
02:40
It keeps me awake
02:43
Give up the ghost
02:46
Give up the ghost
02:48
Give up the ghost
02:50
Stop the haunting baby
02:52
Give up the ghost
02:55
Give up the ghost
02:57
Give up the ghost
02:59
No more haunting baby
03:01
I keep going to the river
03:06
I keep going to the river to pray
03:10
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
03:15
And at most
03:19
I'm sleeping all these demons away
03:21
But your ghost, the ghost of you
03:23
It keeps me awake
03:26
I keep going to the river to pray
03:28
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
03:33
And at most
03:38
I'm sleeping all these demons away
03:40
But your ghost, the ghost of you
03:42
It keeps me awake
03:46

Lyrics & Translation
[English]
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
My friends had you figured out
Yeah, they saw what's inside of you
You tried hiding another you
But your evil was coming through
These eyes sitting on the wall
They watch every move I make
Bright light living in the shade
Your cold heart makes my spirit shake
I had to go through hell to prove I'm not insane
Had to meet the devil just to know his name
And that's when my love was burning
Yeah, it's still burning
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
Each time that I think you go
I turn around and you're creeping in
And I let you under my skin
Guess I love living in the sin
Oh, you never told me
True love was gonna hurt
True pain I don't deserve
Truth is that I never learn
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Stop the haunting baby
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
No more haunting baby
I keep going to the river
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
