This Old Ghost

This Lifeboat Is For Gold, Not People

This Old Ghost


You were first to move on with your life
Now you question the choices you made
Are you thinking of what could have been?

You’re not desperate enough for a change
But you crave a new song and a dance
And you ain’t got no help on the way
Cause you gave up when things were okay

There’s a message i been trying to send
You just holding a flame under what won’t bend
And you might be right things might have changed for good.

Hey, slow down.

“it’s a one time thing” is what you said
We’ll get in and get out and we’re done
But you can’t think of one reason why

It’s a job and a chore and a drag
He’s a mess and we know how it goes
But you’re always so set in your ways
Well the right choice won’t always feel great

There’s a message i’ve been trying to send
You’re just holding a flame under what won’t bend
And you might be right things might have changed for good.

You might be right things might have changed
We learn from the past and change our ways
No slow down
It’s my turn now
