Now I'm a ghost I should have known
Moved to the coldest part of California
Clutched my rosary been praying on ya
You were preying on my heart
I'm the one that got away
You opened up the cage
Still the one that got away
Hadn't thought of where to go
Seems I lack direction
Will the stars to call me home
Candles weren't the only solids burning
Watch my heart go up in flames
It's better off this way
I could use the heat
Can't stand your gaze from the distance anyway
Somewhere different fiddles play
This lonesome lovers lullabye will never be the same
Never be the same
Girl I'm gone
And I'll take the sunlight
Sunshine with me
Rain falls gently
Wash old pain down the gutter
Found another lover
So won't you fade away
Dreams they come in waves
Can't hear your voice
See your face
On my way up
Don't you wait up
Just go away
Palm trees bring me calm
Where's the point in holding on
Traveling lighter by the day
To the surface came the feeling's thought I'd buried
I'll forget you in a hurry
Once I tire of this pain
It's just familiar
Now surrender sounds sweet don't it
Watch me package up my past
Make a pretty penny on it
Make an offer
I'll be off it
I long for simpler days
Warmer nights
Morning rain
Wash away my shame
Girl I'm gone
And I'll take the sunlight
Sunshine with me
Rain falls gently
Wash old pain down the gutter
Found another lover
So won't you fade away
Dreams they come in waves
Can't hear your voice
See your face
On my way up
Don't you wait up
Just go away
So many lights in the city
I can't even see the stars
Won't you bless my pretty heart
Go away
I won't submit to haunting
Releasing you has been awfully strange
I long for simpler days
Dreams they come in waves
Can't hear your voice
See your face
On my way up
Don't you wait up
Just go away
