Ghost

Reach back into your memory fading away
The hits get heavier the longer you inhale
This gravity, pulling life out of me, it's just the way it goes
The distant past left me looking back
But I know I can't retrace my steps
I wake up sweating it out
Now I'm untying old threads
I think I've gotta get out
Now look at us, retired and shading grey
The colors dissipate
And the picture seems to pale
And my vagaries no longer get sympathy
Now I've become a ghost, a phantom host
I've overdosed on my memories
But I know I can't retrace my steps
I wake up sweating it out
Now I'm untying old threads
I think I've gotta get out
It never feels like the first time, it's not right
But we move along and get carried away by the undertow
Do you remember the last time we held tight?
Now it's been so long since we washed away, I should let it go
But I know I can't retrace my steps
I wake up sweating it out
Now I'm untying old threads
