There’s always someone haunting someone – haunting someone
Like an echo in the wind leaves, unreconciled –
Waiting to be picked up and bounced down again on
Listeners ears

There’s always someone haunting someone – haunting someone
And you know who I am
Though I never leave my name or number
I’m locked inside of you so it doesn’t matter

There’s always someone haunting someone – haunting someone
And you know who I am
Though I never leave my name or number
I’m locked inside of you so it doesn’t matter

There’s always someone haunting someone – haunting someone
And I can’t sleep easy
‘Cause I’m afraid of dreaming
And then the memory of the dream
There’s always someone haunting someone
Haunting someone
Haunting someone
