I got an invitation
To the west coast
But I turned it down
Cause I'm scared of your ghost
Haunting our street
The thing that terrifies me
It's not that I might see your ghost
It's that it won't see me
Not sure who died first
Or what was the cause
Was it words that were thrown
Or was it the vase?
Whatever it was
It was the end of us
It's clear enough to see
Your spirit was already...
Free to come
Free to leave
Free to be doubted
Or to be believed
Free to plant yourself
Nowhere to go
Nowhere is home
But I've got my burdens
My burdens to bear
With this ball and chain
I'm not going anywhere
(And) you're hanging round
With no place to be
No one gets the last laugh
Cause you and I aren't...
You've got your postcards
I've got my walls
You walk your streets
While I'm pacing my halls
Thinking on you
Never satisfies me
It's not that I miss your ghost
It's that your ghost don't miss me
