I Thought I Saw You Last Night
Chasing Shadows: Confronting Ghosts in the Night
Lyrics
I'm not easily scared
I don't scare easily.
By things that go bump in the night
I'm not frightened by typical scary things in the dark.
There's not many things
There are few things that genuinely frighten me.
That give me a fright
Not much can give me a genuine scare.
I can walk down a lonely block
I can walk alone in a desolate area without fear.
And not a lot can make my old knees knock
It takes a lot to make me feel scared or anxious.
But, there's one thing that scares me the most
Despite my usual fearlessness, one thing terrifies me the most.
Is when I think I see a ghost and
The fear intensifies when I believe I've seen a ghost.
I thought I saw you last night
I believed I saw you last night.
I thought I saw you last night
I believed I saw you last night (repeated).
I've been lately thinking
I've been contemplating a Ouija board.
About a Ouija board
Thinking about using a tool to communicate with spirits.
And maybe contacting
Your soul surrendered to the lord.
Your soul ceded by the lord
Reflecting on spiritual connections.
'cause all the shadows on my street
Shadows and sounds of shuffling feet on my street.
That bring with sounds of shuffling feet
But, there's one thing that scares me the most
Despite my usual fearlessness, one thing terrifies me the most (repeated).
Is when I think I see a ghost and
The fear intensifies when I believe I've seen a ghost (repeated).
I thought I saw you last night
I believed I saw you last night (repeated).
I thought I saw you last night
-Throw salt on my shoulder and knock on wood
Superstitious actions like throwing salt and knocking on wood for protection.
Don't step on cracks, but it does no good
Traditional actions like avoiding cracks, but they don't help.
I drink a bourbon to calm my nerves
Using bourbon to calm nerves.
Read an old book and chant some verse
Reading an old book and chanting verses for reassurance.
Hold hot coals in the middle of my fist
Metaphorically holding hot coals, enduring pain for protection.
Take advice from my exorcist
Seeking advice from an exorcist.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, expressing religious invocation.
Hail mary
Hail Mary, seeking divine intercession.
Holy moley
Holy Moley, an exclamation of surprise or fear.
This is scary
This is scary, acknowledging the fear.
For instance, last night
Sharing an experience of going to a scary movie last night.
I went to a scary movie
Describing the attempt to remain unaffected by the scary movie.
And I tried real hard
Trying hard not to let fear get to him.
Not to let it get to me
Feeling uneasy and constantly checking for potential scares.
But, I just kept looking over my shoulder
Continuously looking over the shoulder due to heightened fear.
The wind got hands and I got colder
Feeling the chilling effect of the wind.
But, there's one thing that scares me the most
Despite my usual fearlessness, one thing terrifies me the most (repeated).
Is when I think I see a ghost and
The fear intensifies when I believe I've seen a ghost (repeated).
I thought I saw you last night
I believed I saw you last night (repeated).
I thought I saw you last night
-I'm not easily scared
I don't scare easily.
By things that go bump in the night
I'm not frightened by typical scary things in the dark (repeated).
