about

Bats is a band from Nashville, TN. This is the second single from their album Good Game Baby, out March 1st!

lyrics

Owen’s house is full of sunlight and dusty corners
I command the power and the tools to make it clean
Owen smells like fresh cut grass in the morning
When he mows the lawn and makes me breakfast while I sleep

How I hate to be a ghost
I make his eyes look haunted
I try to let him know
It’s not what I wanted
Love is like an hourglass with no bottom
That you empty then you leave
A sand time machine

I would like to scour his bathroom tile and scrub his baseboards
I would go out back and pick the flowers off his weeds
Put them in a jar and set it on the kitchen table
And sit right there pretending that he still belongs to me

How I hate to be a ghost
I make his eyes look haunted
I try to let him know
It’s not what I wanted
Love is like an hourglass with no bottom
That you empty then you leave
A sand time machine
