Lyrics

I was talking to my ghost again today
He's twelve years old and he looks like me
And he's hopeful and he's brave
And he likes the way I play
But he won't always look me in the eye
I've been flying on autopilot to a place that's far away
Repeatedly rehearsing for a role I'll never play
Habits ingrained like bisque-fired clay
I'm talking to a ghost again today
He says, "You used to be louder"
I press repeat, it's a looping beat
He says, "Yes, you used to be louder"
He's a ghost of a memory
He hums a tune off-key
When people said to me, "Stay safe, stay in your lane"
You'd bite your lip and you'd look away
It's easy for a ghost to pass judgement on their host
You still don't look me in the eye
I lived up to expectations and often they weren't mine
Comfort leads to slow stagnation, just like treading time
But those old shoes of mine get tighter by the day
Things that you inherit can be hard to throw away
He says, "You used to be braver"
I press repeat, it's a looping beat
I say, "Nostalgia's not the answer
But it helps to frame the question"
It's quiet now, we don't need a map
It's quiet now, we don't need a northern star
We just need a small spark
That reminds us who we are
The voices of the past, they're calling down the hall
All these versions of me that have ever gone before
I say thank you to my ghosts and I gently close the door
I say, "Thank you for your service"
