Ghost of Avalon

The street sign by the home of my new lover The billboard that I pass by every day And just when I thought that I had recovered You're written on the bumper of the car That I'm tailgating on the highway Well I'm not one for clinging to the past But your name keeps tryna hold me back And I've made my peace With the way these memories taste bittersweet And it's strange but fine How we grew apart but stayed parallel lines Three years doesn't seem so long When you're haunted by the ghost of Avalon There were times that I would take the back roads I knew couldn't stand to see the signs The sight of it would send me down a spiral But lately I've been thinking it'd be nice To sit and catch up over wine I'm almost certain we could find a bottle A fruity blend of California red Your name plastered proudly on the label We'd laugh and let it breathe Until we finally put our bitterness to bed I'm not one for clinging to the past But sometimes it's fun to wander back Cus I've made my peace With the way these memories taste bittersweet And it's strange but fine How we grew apart but stayed parallel lines Three years doesn't seem so long Though the kids who fell in love are dead and gone Can confidently say I'm moving on Cus when the morning brings the dawn I don't mind that I'm haunted by the ghost of Avalon
