It's been a thousand years since I've been here I do believe That I've played along for the last time And they don't come round to talk about you like you were dead But I swear I saw you out there Oh just the other day outside the diner And I saw you walking by And the years go by and I'm still trying to understand How you were living out there You're a ghost this town could build around you cause they're moving forward And you're still underground But if we could talk and we could laugh just for one last time And turn the clock back around Those buildings that were built after you gone away Would all come crashing down And I would laugh like we would laugh back before they came And turn this city around He's gonna die I feel his heart dying He's gonna live this time But I can't stop trying And my weakest moment Was waiting for him
