"I Haunt My Own House"
Music by Andrew Potter
Lyrics by Wheeler Cole
©2019 cole/potter music

Dark rain blows against the house
it rattles the windows inside
a man made of smoke in the dim hallway light
humming about knowing he died

He looks at my hands .. with eyes far away
seeming to have something to say
at the end of a man … I now understand
Death is time travel … you see
the ghost in the hallway is me

I haunt my own house
came back to the past
to try and warn myself of things gone wrong

I haunt my own house
cuz life doesn’t last
teaching lessons I knew all along 

Strive to be kind
cuz we don’t have much time
to hold on the hands that we love
Never miss a chance 
to ask someone to dance
particularly if they’re not brave enough

I haunt my own house
It ain’t really bad
my spooky self keeps me company

My house, it haunts me
don’t think that it’s sad
it’s just Death fulfilling Destiny

sneaky ironic
should be a tonic
slipped in our coffins for free
But don’t worry Jack!
when we all come back
we’ll keep our younger selves company

I Haunt My Own House!
