Lyrics

[Intro] Alright, I want everybody to put their hands in the air And clap with me like this [Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 Oh [Pre-Chorus] 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! [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Each time that I think you go I turn around and you're creeping in And I let you under my skin 'Cause I love living innocent Oh, you never told me True love was gonna hurt True pain I don't deserve Truth is that I never learned [Chorus] Alright, I wanna see you clapping those hands (I keep going to the river to pray), oh, yeah 'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain (Oh, oh) And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away (Oh) But your ghost, the ghost of you (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) 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 [Post-Chorus] Give up the ghost, give up the ghost Give up the ghost, stop the haunting, baby (Baby) Give up the ghost, give up the ghost Give up the ghost, no more haunting, baby I keep going to the river [Interlude] Alright, now we're going to do this one more time, alright But we're going to do it country style But this time I'm not going to sing this chorus You're all going to sing it back to me Are we ready? One, two, one, two, three, sing [Chorus] I keep going to the river to pray (Ooh, yeah) 'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain (Oh, yeah) And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away But your ghost, the ghost of you (Your ghost, oh, oh whoa) It keeps me awake (Woo, here we go) I keep going to the river to pray (I keep going, oh, yeah) 'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain (Ooh) And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away But your ghost (Your ghost), the ghost of you (Ooh, ghost) It keeps me awake I keep going to the river to pray (I, I keep going, oh no) 'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain (Oh, oh) And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away But your ghost, the ghost of you It keeps me...
