[Chorus]
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't
...
Spirits
The Strumbellas
[Chorus]
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't
[Verse 1]
I been looking at the stars tonight
And I think oh, how I miss that bright sun
I'll be a dreamer 'til the day I die
But they say oh, how the good die young
But we're all strange
And maybe we don't wanna change
[Chorus]
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
But the gun still rattles
The gun still rattles, oh
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
[Verse 2]
I spent a lot of nights on the run
And I think oh, like I'm lost and can't be found
I'm just waiting for my day to come
And I think oh, I don't wanna let you down
'Cause something inside has changed
And maybe we don't wanna stay the same
[Chorus]
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
But the gun still rattles
The gun still rattles, oh
But the gun still rattles
The gun still rattles, oh
[Bridge]
And I don't want a never-ending life
I just want to be alive while I'm here
And I don't want a never-ending life
I just want to be alive while I'm here
And I don't want to see another night
Lost inside a lonely life while I'm here
[Chorus]
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
I got guns in my head and they won't go
Spirits in my head and they won't go
But the gun still rattles
The gun still rattles, oh
But the gun still rattles
The gun still rattles, oh

“Spirits” is the first single off The Strumbellas' first album on Glassnote Records, Hope. Lead singer Simon Ward described the song to Riff You, saying:
“Basically the song is about fighting your inner demons. Trying to change and become a better person in life. I write songs to reflect where I'm at in life, and this song is me saying to the world that I'm doing my absolute best right now to be a good person.”
Ward also talked to Billboard about what they want from their goal was for their new album saying, “The strategy for this record, as opposed to the other records, was that we were really looking for a bigger sound.”
