Chasing Down a Ghost

Chasing down a ghost Up and down the coast In and out of hallways, it's always the same We missed them by an inch We're slightly off our mark Stare into the void and listen for a voice 'Cause all my life, I don't know honey how to let it go How to learn to stand with what I am and what I cannot control 'Cause you can tighten up your rope, but you'd be chasing down a ghost And it's not enough to kill you but it'll get you pretty close Hanging by a string Waiting in the wings The show is nearly over, I'm still here Listening for my name A call that never came Now they're pulling up the lights and pushing me aside 'Cause all my life, I don't know honey how to let it go How to learn to stand with what I am and what I cannot control 'Cause you can tighten up your rope, but you'd be chasing down a ghost And it's not enough to kill you but it'll get you pretty close Or it'll get you in your sleep And every secret that you keep locked in your mind Could come alive, hmmm So I'm chasing down a ghost But I never get too close In and out of hallways, we're always at odds With how we missed them by an inch And we're slightly off our mark Don't it seem a little strange how it never seems to change 'Cause all my life, I don't know honey how to let it go How to learn to stand with what I am and what I cannot control 'Cause you can tighten up your rope, but you'd be chasing down a ghost And it's not enough to kill you but it'll get you pretty close No it's not enough to kill you but it'll get you pretty close
