Ghost Passenger - Young Statues

We met on the corner

Teenage kids smoking 'til we got sick

Had to muscle through the front door

Cause you lost my keys in the snow outside

Of the place where your dad died

Drank a broken heart to death

While you watched and you wept

And you say you don’t believe in love

Every time we lie in bed, you say it again

I passed on the offer

Of a full ride free of a mother and the heat

Of a family caving inwards

No, you can’t keep float when you live with a ghost

In a thousand years it never changed

And I’ve only got sixty if I’m lucky

I remember Len said to me

That we do what we can in the time that we spend

Oh no, you can’t keep floating along

Oh no no no no

You’ve got to know this is it

Did you have to waste a bit?

Nobody knows the same things that we say

And you’ve got the weight on your back

Could you be worse at that?

Everyone else says we’re getting old

I’ll settle in I’m told

Gonna drive my car

Again too far

Your ghost is in the passenger seat

We met on the corner

Your body was still but your mouth sarcastically

Said it was an honor

And I know when you’re tired of this I’ll see you again
