lyrics

Pretty soon you will see that all that we can hope to be are ghosts in someone else’s dreams. Breathe; step, repeat.
Breathe; step, repeat.

I will wait for you here. I will wait for your name to blot out into the dirt under my boots, into the last sip of my glass, until you couldn’t tell difference between love and cost; the hurt and the loss.

Pretty soon you will see that all that we can hope to be are ghosts in someone else’s dreams. We breathe; step, repeat. We breathe; step, repeat.

And I wouldn’t send the letters, and I wouldn’t make the calls. But you can see me up ahead, floating with the ghosts. Floating along, floating along…

If you ever give up yourself, blend in with us. We sing, we dance, we can float (always floating.) We are always floating in between love and cost; the hurt and the loss.

He thrust his fists against the post, and still insists he sees the ghosts.
