Ghosts of Ourselves

You know its time to go
When our words turn to snow
I tried to bluff my way
Through our lives every day
But now the game's been played
We're just jokers now
Left afraid
With debts unpaid

For a million moments gone
Seconds drip off our tongues
With every weighted word
As we wait our turn
And it feels absurd
Just to stand and observe
Now it looks like we were so wrong
For so long

Too late for another chance
Too much has come to pass
No cards left to draw
Just lines on the floor
I stayed til you said go
I waited til you said no
But look what we've become
Ghosts of ourselves

For a million moments gone
Seconds drip off our tongues
With every weighted word
As we wait our turn
And it feels absurd
Just to stand and observe
We are just the ghosts of ourselves
Problems shelved

For a million moments gone
Seconds drip off our tongues
With every weighted word
As we wait our turn
And it feels absurd
Just to stand and observe
Now it looks like we were so wrong
For so long
