about

‘Haunted By You’ is the fifth single off of our upcoming 3rd LP, "I Should Have Known That This Was War"

“‘Haunted By You’ is a goodbye to someone I had a turbulent relationship with. I never had the chance to resolve this relationship before this person passed over. The song is a letting go of the memories that tied me to this relationship and shaped who I was for such a long time. This is my final conversation; my forgiveness.”
⁣- Geoff Rana (vocals/guitar/keys)

lyrics

Did it take you by surprise, now?
Did you take it on the chin?
Whiskey stains the air now
The night, it’s growing thin
Now

Smoke crawls up the window
Eyes peer through the glass
I called out in the darkness
But time it only laughs
now

Tobacco stains the fingers
Hands gripped to the wheel
I’ve told you once before son
You're in my house, how’s it feel?
Now

Did it take you by surprise?
Did it drown you in the moon?
Did you hold your head up high?
I’m haunted by you
I’m haunted by you
I’m still haunted by you

Time is of the essence
One day you're a man
I’ve hid beneath the ocean
I’ve laid upon the sand
Now

Words are shaped like weapons
Thrown across the room
All I ever wanted
Was your love to reveal itself

Did it take you by surprise?
Did it drown you in the moon?
Did you hold your head up high?
I’m haunted by you
I’m haunted by you

Now, you got me running backwards
In circles, for you
Only you
Only
Got me running backwards
In circles for you
Only you
Only
I’m still haunted by you

Did you see it in my eyes?
Did it drown you in the moon?
Did you hold your head up high?
I’m haunted by you
I’m haunted by you

By you
Only you
Only
I’m still haunted by you
Only you
Only
I’m still haunted
