Call Off Your Ghost

Last night, best friend, big wedding And I knew you'd be there too Look at us, all grown up Collared shirts and high heel shoes You crossed the room, just the decent thing to do Make sure we've all been introduced You brought your new friend I brought mine, shake hands Pay courtesy, it's due But it takes it's toll And it takes it's hold We've lived too long, too close So call off your ghost Now you're asking, "Can't we just be friends?" But this pain in my chest still rings And its better to just pretend That I can't see you waiting Can't hear you call my name and And I know how much you hate it But babe, I've got to walk away You once said if we were careful That we could do this all our lives Although one of us got clumsy And both of us got wise And now we're not so young, see Our wishing wells gone dry We've been living too long, too close And I'm ready to let you go I'm ready (call off your ghost) So call off your ghost I think she lives around here I see her almost daily All I can do to stop myself from saying something crazy I don't think badly of her I hope she makes you happy It's just a lot to ask to watch your future walking past me I know that jealousy's a perfect waste of time But left to my devices I've spent far too long wasting mine I've spent far too long wasting mine We've been living too long, too close And I'm ready to let you go I'm ready (call off your ghost) So call off your ghost We've been living too long, too close And I'm ready to let you go I'm ready (call off your ghost) So call off your ghost
