You know I can see just why You make-believe a story-line I'd hold you in and let you go Hopeless all the nights you know In every local pub and shop And every grocery store I'm found In light of all the dark around There's an uninvited someone In the minds of most I'm the uninvited ghost You know the type that hides and waits for you to put your guard down tonight Might be a warm southern wind Tempting and so unsuspecting Maybe the thought that storm is brewing something from the north so soon I'm the rain that makes a river rise and that creeps so slow I'm that chance you had but walked away only if you had known I'm that reoccurring thought that's haunting you It keeps on coming back around I'm that last laugh you meant to have And realised you're missing out, you're missing out [Bridge] So I'm like the flame on that lamp Kerosene's empty and the wick is damp
We're all pretenders in these golden times Unprepared and can't decide And on the hearts and the minds of most There's a broken eagle and a Holy Ghost A faith that hides behind an overdose Broken heart I'm the rain that makes a river rise and that creeps so slow I'm the chance you had but walked away only if you had known I'm that bird that chose to fly against the wind and never seemed to gain no ground, oh I'm that reoccurring thought that keeps on coming back around In every corner store and pizza shop or social club I'm found I'm the last words that you heard before you realised the storm touched down Here we are again Sitting lonely in the shadow of our ghost It shows just in the face The sounds are synchronised with all the things they say Wait it out again Chase it out again Take your time my friend [Trumpet ending]
